Vascular Tissue- allows the of water, nutrients, and food between the ground and the body of the plant
a. Xylem- brings and nutrients up from the roots to the rest of the plant; This tissue is dead at maturity
b. Phloem- carries made during photosynthesis (predominately in the leaves) to the rest of the plant cells. This tissue is alive at maturity.

Vascular Tissue- allows the transport of water, nutrients, and food between the ground and the body of the plant

a. Xylem- brings water and nutrients up from the roots to the rest of the plant; This tissue is dead at maturity

b. Phloem- carries glucose made during photosynthesis (predominately in the leaves) to the rest of the plant cells. This tissue is alive at maturity.

Explanation:

Xylem and phloem are two vascular tissues in plants. Their primary purpose is to transport different substances around the plant.

Xylem is mostly used to transport water and nutrients that it collects from the roots to fuel the rest of the plants, such as the leaves that require water for photosynthesis. The xylem needs to overcome the forces of gravity to transport substances around.

Phloem moves in the opposite direction, transporting sugar generated by photosynthesis to the non-photosynthesizing cells of the plants that still require energy. It simply works through diffusion as it does not need to overcome gravity.

Transportation

1) Water

2) Food

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
