The xylem transports oxygen that regulates carbohydrate production.

The xylem transports the water and minerals roots absoorb.

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

The xylem transports bacteria that are needed for nitrogen fixation.

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

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 producing chlorophyll.

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

The hormone produced as a response to geotropism shows a response where roots growing downwards and stems growing upwards.

The hormone produced as a response to phototropism causes shoots to grow towards a light source.

The hormone produced as a response to thigmotropism cause the roots to grow close to the surface and stems to stop growing.

The hormone produced as a response to geotropism shows a response where stems extend into the soil and roots are unaffected.

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.

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.

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

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