The xylem transports wax required to coat the surface of the plant.

The xylem transports oxygen that regulates carbohydrate production.

The xylem transports bacteria that are needed for nitrogen fixation.

The xylem transports the water and minerals roots absoorb.

The direction of light is detected by cells within the roots, and plants respond by bending in the direction of gravity.

The direction of light is detected by cells on the shoot tips, and plants respond by producing chlorophyll.

The direction of light is detected by cells on the roots, and plants respond by bending towards the light.

The direction of light is detected by cells on the shoot tips, and plants respond by bending towards the light.

The body responding to when temperature becomes only too high.

The body continuously shivering to decrease body temperature.

The body using a feedback loop to return temperature to a set point.

The body allowing temperature to change freely without internal control.

Xylem carries water and minerals upward from the roots to the leaves.

Xylem uses active transport to push water and minerals upward from the roots to the leaves.

The movement of water in the xylem is driven primarily by photosynthesis, which directly powers fluid transport.

Xylem transports water and minerals both upward and downward, depending on the plant’s needs.

Hormones are transported through the flowers in order to anchor the plant into the soil preventing erosion.

Hormones will travel through fibrous roots only, allowing for downward movement of signals.

Hormones are transported through the xylem and phloem allowing regulation of growth and stress responses.

Hormones infect the cells throughout the plant in order to destroy bacterial infections.
