How do vascular tissue and dermal tissue work together to achieve homeostasis for a plant?Select one:a.Vascular tissue carries water to the leaves for photosynthesis, and dermal tissue prevents or slows water loss.b.Vascular tissue provides support for the plant, and dermal tissue provides protection by forming a woody outside layer.c.Stems contain both vascular and dermal tissue for transport, and storage of sugars made during photosynthesis.d.Leaves contain vascular tissue for transport of sugars, and dermal tissue for making sugars.
Question
How do vascular tissue and dermal tissue work together to achieve homeostasis for a plant?Select one:a.Vascular tissue carries water to the leaves for photosynthesis, and dermal tissue prevents or slows water loss.b.Vascular tissue provides support for the plant, and dermal tissue provides protection by forming a woody outside layer.c.Stems contain both vascular and dermal tissue for transport, and storage of sugars made during photosynthesis.d.Leaves contain vascular tissue for transport of sugars, and dermal tissue for making sugars.
Solution
The correct answer is a. Vascular tissue carries water to the leaves for photosynthesis, and dermal tissue prevents or slows water loss.
Here's why:
Vascular tissue in plants consists of xylem and phloem. The xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, including the leaves. This water is essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy (sugars).
