What are 'vascular bundles'?

Groups of xylem and phloem tissues

Where in the plant does the phloem transport the sugars to?

Storage tissues in the roots, growing tissues in the tips of the root and shoot

What is the 'transpiration stream'?

The flow of water up the xylem vessels to the leaves

What is 'transpiration'?

The loss of water through the leaves of plants

Which of the following statements isn't true about the xylem

It transports sugar in a downwards direction

Movement in the xylem depends on thermal energy from the sun. What about the phloem?

Energy released by respiration in mitochondria
