Explain how vascular tissue benefits plants in this way.arrow_forwardIn the vascular bundles of flowering plants, protoxylem is closest to the center of the stem, and metaxylem is farther out. Is this an endarch or an exarch arrangement? Seed plants always have just this one arrangement, but what about the early vascular plants? Were they endarch or exarch, or did both types occur originally?arrow_forward

They both have thorns for reproduction. D. They are both able to transport water in many directions.arrow_forwardwhich statement about stems is true? a. Gymnosperms have herbaceous stems. b. Woody stems produce xylem and phloem only once during the life of a plant. c. The vascular bundles are arranged in a circle in herbaceous monocot stems. d. Stems connect the vascular tissue from shoot to root.arrow_forwardHow, then, do flowering plants provide nutrition for the embryo to grow?arrow_forward
