∙ 14y agoThe xylem transports water and dissolved nutrients up the plant; it also helps to form the woody part of the plant. Contrast with the phloem, which carries sugar and other metabolic products and wastes down from the leaves.

∙ 12y agoWater and mineral ions are carried by the xylem to the leaves of the plant through the body of the plant.

phloem transports sugars.

∙ 11y agoThe xylem are tubes made of hollow, dead cells in the plant which transport water and water-soluble minerals upwards.

Why does a plant's transport of sugar differ from it's transport of water?
Water is transported in Xylem vessels and sugar is transported in the phloem
Are auxins transported in xylem or phloem?
Auxins are transported in the phloem, not the xylem.
How are the sugars made in leaves transported in plants?
Sugar is transported through a plant by the "veins" in the plant called phloem. Xylem is the other transportation system that transports water.
What is a woody tissue of a plant?
Xylem
What are the two different kinds of vascular tissue in plants?
The only two vascular tissues in a seed plant (a plant that produces and grows from a seed) are the xylem and the phloem. The xylem brings water and minerals to the plant while the phloem brings food to the plant.
Which is transported in the xylem of plant?
The Xylem of a plant transports water and some nutrients.
Why does a plant's transport of sugar differ from it's transport of water?
Water is transported in Xylem vessels and sugar is transported in the phloem
A tissues transport water and sugar in plant is?
Water is transported through xylem. Sugars are transported though phloem.
What tissue transports water and carbohydrates through a plant?
Water is transported through xylem and carbohydrates through phloem
What is transported the xylem of a plant?
H2O, Na, Ca, Cu, Fe and K.
What is a transported in the xylem of a plant?
H2O, Na, Ca, Cu, Fe and K.
What is transported in a xylem of a plant?
H2O, Na, Ca, Cu, Fe and K.
Are auxins transported in xylem or phloem?
Auxins are transported in the phloem, not the xylem.
Do plants have anything in their veins?
water and sugars are transported in the xylem and phloem vessels of the plant
What is the vasculuar tissue that transports water and minerals through a plant?
Xylem transports water up to the leaves.Water:Is absorbed from the soil through root hair cellsIs transported through the xylem vessels up the stem to the leaves.Evaporates from the leaves (transpiration)But the phloem transports nutrients to the leaves.
How are the sugars made in leaves transported in plants?
Sugar is transported through a plant by the "veins" in the plant called phloem. Xylem is the other transportation system that transports water.
What is trasported by the xylem?
Water is transported by the xylem.
