Two plants, K and L, live as parasites on other plants. Each species produces structures that penetrate the vascular tissue of plants. Plant K penetrates the xylem tissue of other plants. Plant L penetrates the phloem tissue of other plants. Which substances might plants K and L absorb from the plants they parasitise?
- Aplant K: water only; plant L: water and sucrose only
- Bplant K: water and minerals; plant L: water, amino acids and sucrose
- Cplant K: water only; plant L: amino acids and sucrose only
- Dplant K: water and minerals; plant L: water and sucrose only
