i) Sieve tubes
(ii) Companion cells
(iii) Phloem parenchyma
(iv) Phloem fibres
The phloem consists mainly of sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem fibers, and parenchyma cells. Sieve tubes are responsible for transporting sugars and other organic compounds, while companion cells support sieve tube function. Phloem fibers provide structural support, and parenchyma cells store nutrients.
The food conducting tissue of a plant is called phloem. Phloem is responsible for transporting sugars and other organic nutrients produced by photosynthesis throughout the plant.
Leaf constituents primarily include chlorophyll, which is essential for photosynthesis, and various pigments like carotenoids and anthocyanins that contribute to leaf color. The leaf structure also comprises cells such as mesophyll, which contains chloroplasts, and epidermal cells that form a protective layer. Additionally, leaves contain vascular tissues, including xylem and phloem, which transport water, nutrients, and carbohydrates. Other constituents may include stomata for gas exchange and cuticle for water retention.
A phloem transports food to a plant.
Phloem as well as xylem
Phloem is found in plants.
The phloem is closer to the cortex in a plant stem.
