Question
Answer
Phloem   tissue in plants which transports sugar and other organic molecules form the leave to roots to other parts  
Xylem   dead cells adjoined to form collumn transporting water and minerals from roots to leaves.  
What does the transport system in ferns conifers and angiosperms do?   moves water from the roots to leaves in xylem tissue and transports orgainc molecules (mainlu sucrose) form leaves to roots and roots to other parts (in phloem)  
What does transport system in a multicellular animal like a vertebrate do?   transports oxygen from respiratory surface to tissue. uptakes the co2 there and deposits in repiratory surface. also transports hormones wastes and nutrients  
how does water enter terrestial plants and minerals and co2   root hair cells (osmosis) root hair cells (diffusion and active transport) and open stomata in leaves  
How is glucose transported around a plant   glucose (monosaccharide) changed to sucrose (disaccharide) in leaves. moved in phloem to roots and often stored there as starch
