Q1.
a.
(i) Vascular tissues in plants are specialized tissues responsible for the transport of water, minerals, and nutrients throughout the plant.
(ii) The two main types of vascular tissues found in plants are xylem and phloem.
Xylem is responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. Phloem, on the other hand, is responsible for transporting nutrients and sugars produced during photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
b.
(i) The three primary components of a seed are the seed coat, the embryo, and the endosperm.
- The seed coat provides protection for the embryo.
- The embryo is the young multicellular organism that will develop into a new plant.
- The endosperm is a source of nutrition for the developing embryo, providing it with essential nutrients for growth and development.
