- Arteries / veins transport nutrients / water / minerals to the whole body
- The body of an animal contains arteries / veins
- Hence, arteries and veins in animals transport nutrients / water / minerals to the whole body

- Arteries and veins in animals transport nutrients / water / minerals to the whole body
- Special tissues in plants transport food / water / minerals throughout the plant
- So, arteries and veins in animals and special tissues in plants both transport food / water / minerals trhoughout the body / plant

- Arteries and veins in animals and special tissues in plants both transport food / water / minerals trhoughout the body / plant
- Transporting nutrients, water, and minerals is a kind of function
- Therefore, arteries and veins in animals and special tissues in plants both perform the function of transporting food / water / minerals trhoughout the body / plant

- Arteries and veins in animals and special tissues in plants both perform the function of transporting food / water / minerals trhoughout the body / plant
- If two things perform the same function then those two things are similar
- Therefore, special tissues in plants are similar to arteries and veins in animals

Hence, special tissues in plants are similar to arteries and veins in animals
[Question]Plants have special tissues that transport food, water, and minerals throughout the plant. What are these tissues similar to in animals?

- If two things perform the same function then those two things are similar 
- Arteries / veins transport nutrients / water / minerals to the whole body 
- The body of an animal contains arteries / veins 
- Special tissues in plants transport food / water / minerals throughout the plant
