What is a function of phloem?
translocation
transpiration
storage of food
support
14
Multiple Choice
The diagram shows part of the trunk of a small tree with a ring of bark removed. Removing the ring of bark takes away phloem but leaves the xylem intact.

Multiple Choice
The table shows the rate of water flow through a tree over a 12 hour period.
What conclusion can be drawn from the table?
Between 7:00 and 17:00 hours the rate of flow continuously increases.
The greatest increase in rate of flow in a two-hour period is between 11:00 and 13:00 hours.
Water does not flow up through a tree at night.
Water flow is affected by humidity.
