Answer:The might likely die.

Explanation:

Phloem and xylem tissues are the major conducting tissues in plant. Xylem conduct ( transports) water and minerals salts from the soil through the roots to all parts of the plant while phloem conducts manufactured food from the leaves to other parts of the plant.

Now, if the phloem of a seed plant is damaged and not functioning well, the manufactured food will not get to other parts of the plant where it is needed or supposed to be stored.

If the plant is no longer getting these nutrients, its growth and development will be affected. It might lead to the death of the plant.

It would be most difficult for the body to maintain homeostasis if over several days someone had an inadequate intake of:_______

Liula [17]

If someone had an inadequate intake of sodium over several days, it would be most difficult for the body to maintain homeostasis.

<h3>Why is sodium important for homeostasis? </h3>

Most of the sodium in our body is present in the extracellular fluid (ECF). The concentration of sodium in the body is measured relative to the amount of water in the body.

Maintaining proper sodium concentration is therefore essential for maintaining water balance in the body. It also helps in the proper functioning of neurons by assisting in the conduction of impulses.

Sodium concentration is also important for muscle contraction. Proper sodium concentration maintains osmolality of the extracellular fluid which maintains the volume of blood and plasma in the body.

Therefore, an inadequate intake of sodium, over several days will affect the homeostasis of the body.
