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 are the structures in stems that carry fluids up and down the stems?
The two structures in the stem of a plant are xylem and phloem. Xylem goes up and carries water and nutrients to the the leaves while phloem goes down and carries sugars to the roots of the plant.
What do the veins of the leaf contain?
They contain xylem and phloem. Xylem moves water up and phloem moves glucose up or down.
How does phloem and xylem work in flowers?
Xylem carries water up from the roots to the leaves for the process of photosynthesis. Phloem carries the food/nutrients down to the roots.
What is xylem tubes?
the vascular tissue in plants that conducts water and dissolved nutrients. from, Raul Gurung
What are the 2 types of tubes in a plant?
Xylem moves materials and water up. Phloem carries sugar down into the roots.
What does xylem do in a vascular plant?
It transfers water and nutrients up from the roots to the rest of the plants. I remember this by remembering that between xylem and phloem, the phloem flows down, so the xylem goes up.

What do the veins of the leaf contain?
They contain xylem and phloem. Xylem moves water up and phloem moves glucose up or down.
Where do each of the products of photosynthesis go?
xylem up phloem down keeps the juicies from phloem down
What direction does the xylem transport water?
The flow is from the roots to the plant so the flow goes up.
What are tubes that carry fluids from the roots up to leaves of vascular plants?
xylem and phloem
Where the xylem and phloem vessels take place in the pant?
The xylem take materials up the plant while the phloem take materials down the plant.
How does phloem and xylem work in flowers?
Xylem carries water up from the roots to the leaves for the process of photosynthesis. Phloem carries the food/nutrients down to the roots.
What is xylem tubes?

What is the system of a plant?
The vascular system is the transport system of the plant. It consists of the xylem and phloem. Xylem carries water up from the roots and phloem carries sugar down to the roots.
What are the 2 types of tubes in a plant?
Xylem moves materials and water up. Phloem carries sugar down into the roots.
Which process requires more energy from the plant moving water up through the xylem or moving nutrients down through the phloem?
Down the phloem
