Which of the following is true of vascular tissues in plants?
A - Xylem is made of living cells and phloem is made of non-living cells
B - Xylem is made of non-living cells and phloem is made of living cells
C - Xylem generally transports food from the leaves to the roots and phloem generally transports water from the roots to the leaves
D - Xylem generally transports water from the leaves to the roots and phloem generally transports food from the roots to the leaves
Answer: B - Xylem is made of non-living cells and phloem is made of living cells.
Xylem moves water and is made of tracheids, non-living, elongated cells to that allow for the transport of fluid, the movement is normally roots - stems-leaves.. It can sometimes help support the stem. Phloem moves food and is made of sieve elements that are living cells specialized in the movement of food
