Definitions:

Xylem

The vascular tissue in plants responsible for the conduction of water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant.

Dissolved Sugars

Dissolved sugars are sugar molecules that have been dissolved in a liquid, forming a solution commonly important in both biological processes and food science.

Chlorophyll-Containing Cells

Chlorophyll-containing cells, primarily found in plants and algae, possess chlorophyll that enables photosynthesis, the process of converting light energy into chemical energy.

Evolutionary Process

The natural progression through which species undergo changes over time, driven by mechanisms such as natural selection and genetic drift.
