What is the system of a plant?

The vascular system is the transport system of the plant. It consists of the xylem and phloem. Xylem carries water up from the roots and phloem carries sugar down to the roots.


What are the jobs of the pholem and xylem?

the xylem moves water and minerals up the stem from roots to leaves and phloem moves food from the leaves to the rest of the plant it can transport food up and down in a plant.


Xylem used in a sentence?

the xylem tubes transport water up and down the stems of plants


In a plant what type of tissue is responsible for transporting water and nutrients?

there are connective tissues in plants which helps them to transport water and nutrients.xylem helps plants ,in transporting water and minerals . and phloem helps plants to transport food from one place to another.


What direction does the xylem transport water?

The flow is from the roots to the plant so the flow goes up.


Which transported in the xylem of a plant?

The Xylem of a plant transports water and some nutrients.


Why does a plant's transport of sugar differ from its transport of water?

Because sugar is transported through phloem and water is transported through xylem.


Which goes up and which goes down the xylem or the phloem?

Both xylem and phloem are vascular tissues found in a plant. Xylem is a tubular structure which is responsible for water transport from the roots towards all of the parts of the plant. Phloem is also a tubular structure but is responsible for the transportation of food and other nutrients needed by plant. Xylem imports water and minerals while Phloem transports water and food. Xylem exists as non-living tissue at maturity, but phloem is living cells.


What does the phloem do?

Phloem - a protective layer made up of tiny tubes that transport the sugars from the leaves to the rest of the tree.Xylem - the main part of the tree trunk made up of tiny tubes which transport water and minerals from the roots up the trunk and branches to the leaves.phloem carries organic nutrients to all parts of the plant where required.Its mainly concerned with transport of soluble organic material.


Is a xylem cell a plant or human cell?

Its part of a plant cell, a tube that carries energy.-----------------A Xylem cell is a plant cell. The xylem is the woody part of the tree. It is all of the cells between the pith in the center out to the cambium. The xylem consists of the sapwood and the heartwood. There is no one cell called a "xylem cell". Any cell in the xylem portion of the tree could be called a xylem cell.The vessels and/or tracheids in the outer few growth rings in the sapwood carries sap or water (with dissolved minerals) up to the leaves. The inner bark cells carry the food made by the leaves down the tree for use and for storage. The ray cells transport the food radially into the tree for growth. Also the rays cells can transport stored food radially outward in times of shortages or special needs. (like repairing damage by weather or disease or insects or animals, etc.)Phloem


What are cells that transport water and minerals from roots to shoots in plants are called?

It's called the xylem. The phloem takes sugar (food) down from the leaves.


What does xylem do in a vascular plant?

It transfers water and nutrients up from the roots to the rest of the plants. I remember this by remembering that between xylem and phloem, the phloem flows down, so the xylem goes up.
