Answer: We Have two kidneys as we need some extra reserve of kidney mass in case we sustain some sort of injury.

A kidney is made up of nephrons ,which is its job to filter,reabsorbs solutes and water.

More kidney mass,more nephrons.

Your kidneys are important they help your bones create new blood cells and have many important functions.Some people are only born with one but you still can survive ,having two is just something like a replacement if the kidney fails(shuts downs) due to an injury.

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

It transports food to all the parts of the plant both upwards and downwards is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Phloem is tissue present in plants that transport the food prepare in the leaves to other parts of the plant.

Phloem has various types of specialized cells such as parenchyma cells, sieve elements, sclerenchyma, and companion cells.

Phloem transfers the food from source(leaves)to sink(to the other parts of the plant's cells), and in the spring process get reversed as the food stored in the sink move towards the developing buds through the phloem that's the reason phloem transports food to all the parts of the plant both upwards and downwards and movement of food is bidirectional.
