Yes, the mandevilla plant is a climbing vine that can be trained to climb up trellises or other structures.
The phloem is the plant structure responsible for carrying nutrients, such as sugars and hormones, throughout the plant. It transports these vital substances from the leaves, where they are produced through photosynthesis, to other parts of the plant for growth and metabolism.
The vocabulary word you're looking for is "vascular." Vascular plants have specialized tissues, namely xylem and phloem, that transport water, nutrients, and food throughout the plant. This characteristic distinguishes them from non-vascular plants, which lack these structures.
The substance exits the plant primarily through specialized structures called stomata, which are small openings on the surfaces of leaves. These stomata allow gases, such as oxygen and water vapor, to move in and out of the plant. Additionally, some substances may exit through other parts like the roots or stems, depending on the type of plant and the substance in question.
A tuber is a swollen, underground stem that stores nutrients for the plant. It differs from other plant structures like roots and stems because it is a specialized storage organ that can be used for reproduction or survival during harsh conditions.
The Cell membrane on a plant cell is used to allow some substances into the cell (for nourishment) while keeping other (harmful or unwanted) substances out.
Ribosomes are found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. They are the cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis.
Sieve plates are structures found in plant phloem that allow for the movement of sugars, nutrients, and other substances between different parts of the plant. They are composed of small pores that enable the flow of materials from cell to cell. This helps in the distribution of sugars and other important molecules produced during photosynthesis to areas of the plant where they are needed.
Vacuoles are typically colorless structures in plant and fungal cells. They appear transparent and may contain various substances such as water, enzymes, and waste products.
stomata
Phloem vessels transport sugars and other organic nutrients produced by the plant through photosynthesis, from the leaves to other parts of the plant, such as roots, stems, and fruits. They move substances bidirectionally, both upwards (from leaves to other plant parts) and downwards (from other plant parts to the roots).
