500
Compare and Contrast prokaryotes with eukaryotes.
What is prokaryotes lack a nucleus and membrane bound organelles, they are less complex, smaller, and unicellular, whereas eukaryotes are larger, more complex, have a nucleus and organized membrane bound organelles and are multicellular?

The reason that it is important that trees have bark is...
What is without the bark a tree could die because the bark contains the phloem, which transports nutrients to the roots of the tree?

Compare and contrast the xylem and phloem.
What is they both help transport materials throughout plants, they are both considered vascular tissues? The xylem is responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the mesophyll. The phloem transports nutrients (food such as sugar and organic materials) all throughout the plant.
