(a) Phloem – (ii) Translocation of food
(b) Nephron – (i) Excretion
(c) Veins – (iv) Deoxygenated blood
(d) Platelets – (iii) Clotting of blood
Explanation:
Phloem:
This is a tissue in plants responsible for transporting food (sugars) produced by leaves to other parts of the plant, hence “translocation of food”.
Nephron:
This is the functional unit of the kidney, which filters waste products from the blood and produces urine, thus “excretion”.
Veins:
These are blood vessels that carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
Platelets:
These are small blood cells that help in blood clotting when there is an injury, hence “clotting of blood”.
