How are pits perforation plates and sieve plates similar in function but different in structure?
Pits are small openings in the wall. Perforation plates are larger openings. A sieve plate looks similar to a sieve that is used in the kitchen. They all allow things to move across cell walls.
What does sieve plate in plants do?
they allow the sucrose to enter in phloem.
What is the purpose of the holes in the phloems sieve plate?
so that water and solutes can pass.
How are phloem vessels adapted for its function?
1. the sieve tube members form the tubing column through which the food passes 2.the sieve plate has got pits that allow the passage of materials through it from cell to cell Find me at jamesgeotham@yahoo.com
What are sieve-tube cells?
In plant anatomy, sieve tube elements, are a specialized type of elongated cell in the phloem tissue of flowering plants. The ends of these cells connect with other sieve tube members, making up the sieve tube, whose main function is transport of carbohydrates in the plant.
What is the function of the sieve plate on a starfish?
the sieve plate is a filter for the water that enters the "Water Vascular System" in Echinoderms.

How do sugars move from one sieve-tube cell to the next?
by flowing along with water through perforations in the sieve plate
What is the purpose of the holes in the phloems sieve plate?
so that water and solutes can pass.
The cells that function with the sieve tubes are the?
Cells containing sieve plates are called sieve tube members, a component of the phloem, which carries sugars produced in the leaves to various parts of the plant. They are characteristic of angiosperms (flowering plants) while gymnosperms (cone-bearing plants) have only sieve cells. Sieve cells and sieve tube members are collectively referred to as sieve elements.

What is the meaning of griddle?
An iron plate or pan used for cooking cakes., A sieve with a wire bottom, used by miners.
How is sieve tube different from companion cells?
The sieve tube elements are specialized elongated cells in the phloem that connect end to end forming a tube. The main function of this tube is to transport nutrition in the form of carbohydrates. Sieve cells have no nucleus, ribosomes and cytoplasm, meanin they cannot carry out primary metabolic activities. The companion cells, which are closely associated with the sieve tube elements, carry out the their metabolic functions.

What is the function of underliner plate?
it is the plate under the plate (kea nga UNDER plate!!!) hahaha
