Beginning with this group of plants, all plants that have evolved after contain vascular tissue, allowing them to grow larger. The two types of vascular tissue are xylem and phloem. For each statement below, determine if it refers to xylem or phloem. The vascular tissue that transports water. The vascular tissue that transports minerals. The vascular tissue that moves materials from the roots up to the leaves and stems. The vascular tissue that transports nutrients. This vascular tissue can move materials either up or down the plant.

Monocot leaves D. Eudicot roots E. Eudicot stems F. Eudicot leaves G. Both monocot and eudicot roots H. Both monocot and eudicot stems I. Both monocot and eudicot leaves
Epidermal tissue Complete the following paragraph to describe epidermal tissue in angiosperms. Epidermal tissue comprises the bulk of plants. It functions to prevent water loss and contains the following components: stomata, cork cells, guard cells, and trichomes. The epidermal cells on stems and leaves provide protection and prevent desiccation. Lower epidermal layers contain specialized cells that surround the stomata and facilitate gas and water exchange. Root epidermal cells contain root hairs that aid in water and mineral absorption. In some plants, the epidermis is replaced with a layer containing cuticle.
