The answers are "water and mineral ions" and "amino acids and sucrose" respectively.

For the xylem, it usually transports water and mineral ions that are absorbed from the root hair cells up to the leaves, where photosynthesis take place. Water is one of the necessary substance for photosynthesis to take place, while different mineral ions can help the plant by for example Magnesium ions can help produce chloroplast.

While phloem transports amino acid and sucrose from the location of production (eg. Leaves by photosynthesis) to the place where it is used or stored. Plant needs these substances to generate energy for activities such as growth by for example cellular respiration. This process is called translocation.

Both of these tubes help transport substances in the plant, in order to keep the plant alive.

What is the name of the enzyme used to make rna nucleotides

Likurg_2 [28]

<h2>RNA Polymerase</h2>

Explanation:

RNA polymerase, a chemical in the cell, is answerable for making mRNA from the right quality. RNA polymerase is like DNA polymerase, yet it makes a RNA strand as opposed to a DNA strand. The promoter region of DNA Helix is attached by RNA polymerase.

It pulls in nucleotides that supplement those on the DNA strand containing the gene of interest. RNA polymerase duplicates one strand of DNA to make a stretching bit of singlestranded mRNA. RNA polymerase makes the mRNA strand in what is known as the 5' to 3' course.

List the sequence of events involved in the alternation of generations in land plants

Keith_Richards [23]

<span>The sequence of alternation of generation is; gametes->zygote->sporophyte->spores->gametophyte->gametes. The attached diagram shows clearly this looped cycle. Alternation of generation occurs in a more advanced land plant that has distinct haploid and diploid phases in their life cycle. The diploid phase usually involves the sporophyte while the haploid phase involves the gametophyte</span>
