What are Phloem cells?
Phloem cells are living vascular cells that carries sugar and organic substances throughout a plant.
Which cells in a plant can translocate dissolved sugars?
Phloem
What cells in a plant transport the food?
xylem & phloem
What tissue in plants is made of specialized cells that transports nutrients from the leaves to other areas of the plant?
Phloem is made of sieve tubes, companion cells and phloem parenchyma. These are specialized cells to transport nutrients from leaves to other area of the plant.
What will happen if a plant without functional phloem cells?
Hh
What is the name of the tissue that contains seive tubes?
Parenchyma cells in "phloem tissue"
Which structures transport food downward in a geranium plant?
phloem cells
What are dead xylem and phloem cells of a woody plant called?
PITH
Sugars are conducted through plant tissue by the?
The sieve tubes of the phloem cells help to transport sugars. The stem of the plant has a layer of cells called phloem. Part of the phloem is made of sieve tubes that permit the flow of sugars solution through the influence of fluid pressure differential. The phloem also contains companion cells for the sieve tubes which aid in the transport of sugars to these tubes.
Why is phloem useful to a plant?
Phloem is a conductive plant tissue and is found in the stems and leaf veins. It facilitates the movement of the sugars produced by photosynthesis to the rest of the plant. Phloem also provides a minor role in the support structure of the stem.
What tube carries sugar from the plants leaves to the rest of the plant?
Xylem tube cells: There are also cells called phloem tube cells, which transport water up the plant to the leaves. These two types of tubes are found in the stem and the vains of a plant, in groups called vascular vundles.
It is in plant cells and not human cells it provides support and it separates and sorrounds the plant cell?
Cellulose in living plant cells and Lignified cellulose in non-living plant cells (As in heartwood and outer bark)Phloem
