What are plants systems that are hollowed tubes to transport water and nutrients?

The xylem and phloem are the two plant systems that consist of hollowed tubes for transporting water and nutrients. The xylem primarily transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while the phloem transports sugars produced during photosynthesis to different parts of the plant for energy.


Why do plants need transport system?

It is to allow substances like dissolved mineral salts and water to be taken in and transport around the plant so that the plant is able to produce food ( sucrose and amino acids ), to keep the plant surviving.


Why do trees have big and tall trunks?

Trees have big and long trunks so that they can stand erect in worst climates lke earthquakes , floods , very fast blowing winds etc. In tropical rain forests trees become tall in search of more sunlight.


What is the primary function of the phloem in vascular plants?

The primary function of the phloem in vascular plants is to transport sugars, organic molecules, and nutrients produced by photosynthesis in the leaves to other parts of the plant, such as roots, stems, and fruits. This transport system is bidirectional and helps in maintaining the growth and metabolic functions of the plant.


What involves the movement of materials inside the cell as well as the movement between parts of a multicellular organism?

The processes that involve the movement of materials inside a cell are called intracellular transport, which includes mechanisms like endocytosis, exocytosis, and molecular motor proteins. In multicellular organisms, the movement between different parts is facilitated by the circulatory system (blood vessels and the heart) and the lymphatic system. These transport systems help distribute essential nutrients, oxygen, hormones, and immune cells throughout the organism.
