Question

question 10 of 10 a plant grows in soil contaminated with toxins. through which structure would the toxins first enter the plant? a. xylem b. chloroplasts c. phloem d. paramecium

Explanation:

Plants absorb water and minerals (including toxins) from soil through roots. Xylem is responsible for transporting water - and dissolved substances from roots to other parts of the plant, so toxins first enter via xylem. Chloroplasts are for photosynthesis, phloem transports organic nutrients, and paramecium is a single - celled organism not related to plant uptake.

Answer:

A. Xylem
