Plants contain xylem and phloem tissue. what organ system in animals performs a similar function as the xylem and phloem of plants?

In animals, the circulatory system performs a similar function because it transports vital nutrients around the body of the animal, just like how xylem and phloem transport water, minerals, and sugar to different parts of the plant.

The answer is atmosphere. there are four spheres of the earth: 1. geosphere (from greek word 'geo' = ground), 2. hydrosphere (from greek word 'hydro' = water), 3. biosphere (from greek word 'bio' = life), and 4. atmosphere (from greek word 'atmo' = air). a magnetosphere is a region of space around astronomical objects controlled by the magnetic field of that object. through the process of elimination, since lightning is present in the air, it can be found in the atmosphere.
