Is Xylem a vascular tissue that is alive transports sugar form the leaves of all parts of the plant or transport water and dissolved minerals from roots and stems to all parts of a plant?
xylem is active when it is dead and it transports water and dissolved minerals from roots to all parts of a plant phloem transports sugars
What transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots to leaves?
The xylem carries the water and minerals up around to the leaves of plant from the roots and the phloem carries it to the rest of the plant
Contrast the flow of materials in xylem and phloem?
Both are vascular tissues of the vascular plant. Xylem is dead, woody tissue mostly that transports water from the roots of the plant to the leaves. Phloem is vascular tissue that transports sugars manufactured by the plant to all the areas that need such sugars.
What do vascular tissues in plants do?
There are two types of vascular tissue that aid in transport and there are two substances that are transported. Xylem transports water and dissolved minerals and phloem transports sugar (sap).
How is xylem different from?
The basic function of Xylem is to transport water (and some soluble minerals) up from the roots and through the plant. Phloem transports organic nutrients - particularly sucrose (a sugar) - throughout the plant. Both are types of vascular tissue found in plants.
Do leaves have bones?
No, they have veins, aka vascular bundles (xylem and phloem/tubes that transport water and sugar around the plant).
Is spinach a vascular plant?
A carrot is a vascular plant. Vascular plants have lignified tissues, or xylem, for moving water and minerals throughout the plant. They also have a specialized non-lignified tissue, or phloem, to conduct products of photosynthesis.
Is food a plant?
Vascular plants are plants that contain vascular tissue such as xylem and phloem. The xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant and the phloem transports food and nutrients such as sugar and amino acids. Some vascular plants are a part of your diet!
What the purpose of the vascular system in a plant?
The Vascular tissues, (xylem and phloem) transport water, nutrients and starch to various parts of the plant. Xylem tubes are present in the roots, water moves into the roots through osmosis and is pulled to the leaves due to a combination of transpiration pull and capillary action. Phloem tubes bring back starch (photosynthesized product/ simple sugar) and transport it to all parts of the plant body.
Which part of the plant absorbs minerals for photosynthesis?
The roots absorb mineral ions and water and transport them to the leaves. But photosynthesis does not actually use the minerals in making the sugar.
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.
How is xylem differ from phloem?
The basic function of Xylem is to transport water (and some soluble minerals) up from the roots and through the plant. Phloem transports organic nutrients - particularly sucrose (a sugar) - throughout the plant. Both are types of vascular tissue found in plants.
