Phloem is composed of sieve elements and companion cells. Each sieve element has a companion cell that provides ATP and other necessary support to the sieve element. In addition to this there are sieve plates that separate sieve cells.

What is called the food conducting tissue of a plant?
phloem
Which structure is responsible for moving sugars throughout a plant?
usually through the phloem in the vascular bundle
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.
Drawing xylem and phloem?
Phloem is on the outside.
What type of vascular tissue carries water and minerals from roots to the stem and leaves?
False, Phloem tissue does
Can you give you a sentence using the word phloem?
A plants vascular structure is made up of xylem and phloem.
What structure carries sugar from a plants leaves to the rest of the plant?
phloem.
What structure carries sugar from the plants leaves to the rest of the plant?
phloem.
What structure carries sugar from plants leaves to the rest of the plant?
phloem.
How does the structure of xylem and phloem vessels differs microscopically?
differ in such a way that xylem transport water while phloem transport food and nutrients
How does the shape of the phloem cell enable it to do this?
It is trianglular and has spikes. Also the phloem cell structure is made up of many spirals which enables it to stay strong.
Which structure carries sugar from a plants leaves to the rest of the plant NT?
Phloem
Which structure carries food to non photosynthetic parts of the plant?
Phloem carries food .
Which goes up and which goes down the xylem or the phloem?
Both xylem and phloem are vascular tissues found in a plant. Xylem is a tubular structure which is responsible for water transport from the roots towards all of the parts of the plant. Phloem is also a tubular structure but is responsible for the transportation of food and other nutrients needed by plant. Xylem imports water and minerals while Phloem transports water and food. Xylem exists as non-living tissue at maturity, but phloem is living cells.
What structure in vascular plants transport sugar?
Phloem transport sugars, Xylem transports water
Why is the difference between xylem and phloem important in a plant?
There is structural difference between xylem and phloem. This is because their function is also different. Had there been no difference in structure, how these could have performed different function?
How is an xylem defferent from phloem?
Quite different in structure and function. The xylem, which is dead material, carries water from the roots to the leaves. The phloem, which is living material, carries synthesized sugars from the leaves to where they are needed in the plant.
