The nervous system includes the brain, spinal cord, and a complex network of neurons. This system is responsible for sending, receiving, and interpreting information from all parts of the body. The nervous system monitors and coordinates internal organ function and responds to changes in the external environment.  

• Neurons are the basic unit of the nervous system. All cells of the nervous system are comprised of neurons. Neurons contain nerve processes which are "finger-like" projections that extend from the nerve cell body. The nerve processes consist of axons and dendrites which are able to conduct and transmit signals.  

• The brain is the control center of the body. One of these furrows, the medial longitudinal fissure, divides the brain into left and right hemispheres. Covering the brain is a protective layer of connective tissue known as the meninges.

• The spinal cord runs down the center of the protective spinal column extending from the neck to the lower back. Spinal cord nerves transmit information from body organs and external stimuli to the brain and send information from the brain to other areas of the body.

The cells in this part of a plant form long, vertical tubes. What is the most
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

D. The tubes allow water and nutrients to be transported throughout

the plant.

Explanation:

option D supports the description of the cells. The long , vertical tubes transport water and nutrients and are most likely xylem and phloem vessels.

option A is wrong since, chloroplasts inside the cell helps in absorbing sunlight.

option C is also wrong, because water loss is controlled by the stomata in the leaves and they are not long tubes.

option B could possibly be right but option D is better suited.
