- Sieve tube elements contain little cytoplasm and no nucleus
- Has cross walls with pores to allow flow of sap
- Companion cells on the side that have mitochondria to produce ATP for active processes
- Companion cell and sieve tube element are linked through many plasmodesmata

∙ 14y agoThe phloem is mainly concerned with the transport of soluble organic material made during photosynthesis. This is called translocation.

∙ 11y agoPhloem cells do not have a nucleus, and they have very few vacuoles. They act much like a sieve.

∙ 12y agoit has a very thin cytoplasm and little organelles so there is lots of room for substances within it. also there are lots of them stacked together to form a tube.

What is tissue that moves food from leaves and stems?
Phloem .
What does phloem tissue do?
Phloem tissue is the tissue in plant stems that carry materials down from the top of the plant to the bottom. Xylem tissue is the tissue in plant stems that carry materials up from the bottom of the plant to the top. An easy way to remember this is: phloem=LOWem. Xylem=HIGHlem.
Which is vascular tissue in plants?
Phloem
What tissue carries glucose from the leaves back to the stem and roots?
phloem tissues
How Do Cells Turn Into Tissues?
When millions of cells come together they form tissue When a group of cells unite to perform a specific function, it is called a tissue. For example photosynthetic tissue (chlorenchyma), storage tissue (parenchyma) and conducting tissues (xylem & phloem).
What type of vascular tissue carries water and minerals from roots to the stem and leaves?
False, Phloem tissue does
What is the function of the phloem tissue?
In a plant, Phloem tissue carries photosynthesis products (sugars e.g. sucrose) from leaves to roots, growing tissue and fruits. But not minerals (these are carried from the roots to the leaves by the Xylem).
What is called the food conducting tissue of a plant?
phloem
What is tissue that moves food from leaves and stems?
Phloem .
What is the tissue that makes xylem and phloem?
The vascular cambium tissue makes xylem and phloem.
How are the cells of tissue adapted for its function of strengthening a plant in the amoeba?
lala
Which tissue transports soluble products of photosynthesis in plants?
phloemxylem mesophyll ground tissue
What are the two different types of vascular tissue?
Phloem and xylem are the two main types of vascular tissue found in plants. Xylem is the tissue that mainly carries water, and a few minerals, in the system. Phloem is the tissue that carries photosynthetic materials through the plant.
How are stems adapted transporting food and water?
Stems have xylem tissue that conducts water from the soil to the leaves. they also have phloem tissue that conducts dissolved food from the leaves to the rest of the plant body
What is the name of the tissue that contains seive tubes?
Parenchyma cells in "phloem tissue"

What does phloem tissue do?
