 1. 

What does the transport system of plants do?
a.
lifts sugars from the roots to the leaves and sends water from leaves to the roots

help move food and water
 

 7. 

What does dermal tissue consist of in roots, and what is its function?

consists of a smooth flat surface which increases surface area for absorption
 

 8. 

How can water move from one tracheid into a neighboring cell?
a.
the cell walls have active transport mechanisms that pump water to move it
b.
the cell walls of tracheids are pierced by openings that connect neighboring cells to one another
