- Transport of water and minerals in $Xylem$ is $\underline{A}$.
- Transport of organic and mineral nutrients is $\underline{B}$.

Which of the following components are transported within plants?
$I -$ Water,$II -$ Plant growth regulators,$III -$ Mineral nutrients,$IV -$ Organic nutrients

Identify the correct statements from the following:
$I-$ Xylem transports only inorganic nutrients.
$II-$ Phloem transports only organic materials.
$III-$ There is an exchange of materials between xylem and phloem.
$IV-$ In xylem,inorganic nitrogen is present along with organic nitrogen in the form of amino acids and other components.
$V-$ Organic phosphorus and sulfur are also found in xylem tissue.

The transport of gases,hormones,photosynthates,and organic solutes in plants is:

$A$: There is an indirect relationship between the rate of respiration and water absorption.
$R$: Increased metabolism increases mineral uptake.

Which of the following is not observed during the apoplastic pathway?
