Answer to q. 1

ANSWER: The nutrient would enter the plant via the epidermis. Next, it would move through the
cortex. Following this it would cross the endodermis and pericycle. Finally, it would enter
the xylem.

Answer to q. 2

ANSWER: Parenchyma cells are capable of rapid growth but are not rigid. Sclerenchyma cells are rigid,
but dead at maturity and therefore cannot grow. The best choice would be collenchyma cells,
which have thick walls for rigidity but are alive at maturity and can grow.
