1. In roots, water typically moves from the ground tissue to the xylem because: Group of answer choices The endodermis has many ATP-dependent water pumps The xylem has greater pressure than ground tissue The xylem has lower water potential than ground tissue Membranes of xylem cells have an abundance of aquaporins 2. Which nutrient is provided to mycorrhizae by plants? Group of answer choices Nitrogen Iron Phosphorus Carbon Oxygen
