(a) phloem; xylem (b) cork cambium; vascular cambium (c) epidermis; periderm (d) primary xylem; secondary xylem (e) cortex; pitharrow_forwardChoose the incorrect statement: a. Bundle sheath cells surround the vascular bundles in both eudicots and monocots. b. Phloem sieve elements contain a higher concentration of amino acids than xylem vessels. c. Phloem sieve elements and xylem tracheary elements are similar at maturity because they are both dead. d. Root hairs are the primary cell type that absorbs water in roots.arrow_forward

I. After soil water crosses a root’s epidermis, it seeps into parenchyma that forms the root’s region of cortex until it reaches the vascular cylinder.; II. In a typical eudicot root, the vascular cylinder divides ground tissue into regions of pith and cortex.; III. By contrast, the vascular cylinder in a typical monocot root contains very little pith or none at all.; IV. Water and substances dissolved in it must pass through the endodermis of a root’s vascular cylinder before entering the xylem for distribution to the rest of the plant. Only two (2) statements are true. None of the statements is true. Only one (1) statement is true. Only three (3) statements are true. All statements are true.arrow_forward
