Where does the phloem get the food that it carries to the stem and roots?
While xylem transports only in one direction...up, the phloem can move nutrients in either direction. The phloem gets nutrients from the roots to take up to the leaves to be used in photosynthesis and moves sugars and other nutrients produced from the photosynthetic process down to the roots for storage.
When plants respire do they take up oxygen from their roots or from the stomata in their leaves or both?
stomata is a tiny pores found in the leaves of the plant,but this is not the place where plants take oxygen from,but from the roots.
What are the 3 primary organs in a vascular plant?
Leaves, roots, and stems.
What part of a tree drink the water?
the leaves and roots take the water ^^
Do algae have roots stems or leaves?
no they dont they have blades not roots stems or leaves.
What function moves water and dissolved minerals from roots up the stem to the leaves?
xylem
What are the jobs of the pholem and xylem?
the xylem moves water and minerals up the stem from roots to leaves and phloem moves food from the leaves to the rest of the plant it can transport food up and down in a plant.
What system moves water from roots to leaves?
Atmosphere
What part of a plant moves water?
nutrient from the roots to the leaves
What are the different between xylem and phloem?
They are both types of vascular tissue in plants, but phloem moves food down the plant from the leaves to the roots, whereas xylem moves water from the roots up to the rest of the plant tissue.
How does water travel witin a plant?
Assuming you mean vascular plants the transportation system here are the vascular tissues. The xylem moves water from the roots to the leaves. The phloem moves sugars, carbohydrates, from the leaves to everywhere in the plant needing these sugars.
What moves up the stem to the leaves?
Water
Do plants store their food in the roots or leaves?
They store the sugar (glucose) in their leaves, the roots soak up water.
What moves food from the plants leaves to its other parts?
Tiny tube-like veins called phloem transport material inside a plant. For example, water from the roots travels up these tubes to reach the leaves, and the energy from photosynthesis travels down the tubes to reach the roots.
Does polarity cause water move from the roots of a plant up to its leaves?
False. Water moves up the Xylem due to a transpiration vaccuum. The polarity allows it to remain cohesive however
What are special tubes that carry water and minerals from the roots to the leaves in a plant?
The tubes are called conductive tissues. There are two main groups: Xylem which transports water from the roots to the stems and leaves, and Phloem which transports the products of photosynthesis (sugars)primarily from the leaves to the rest of the plant
What 2 main things do stems of plants do?
they connect the roots to the leaves and hold the plant up they carry the food to the leaves from the roots
