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 is called the food conducting tissue of a plant?
phloem
What plant tissue transports sugar solution?
Xylem moves water upward and Phloem move food and nutrients downward to the roots.
What do phloem tubes carry?
Phloem transports sugars from the photosynthetic process to the rest of the plant.
Which tubes in a plant carry glucose?
Carbohydrates are moved about plants in the sieve tubesof the phloem.This movement of materials from one part of a plant to another is called translocation. Carbohydrate is normally translocated as sucrose. If you inject glucose or fructose into a plant, it will probably be converted into sucrose before translocation.
What would happen if a plant's phloem does not work correctly?
The glucose (simplest form of sugar) made by the leaves through photosynthesis (process at which plants make food) got "stuck" as the phloem (food-carrying tube) is cut away and glucose could not be transported to below the part which the phloem was cut. Water from the roots would still flow to all plant parts as the xylem (water-carrying tubes) were not cut away. Hope this is useful! =)
Is phloem a plant or animal cell?
phloem is a plant cell
What is called the food conducting tissue of a plant?
phloem
What do the phloem do?
A phloem transports food to a plant.
What is the the role of the phloem?
Phloem takes the plant food from the leaves and takes it to other parts of the plant
Is phloem in a plant or in an animal?
Phloem is found in plants.
What is a sentence for phloem?
A plant's Vascular is made up of Phloem............
What are phloem tubes?
Phloem tubes are the tubes in the plant transport that transports food from the leaves to the other parts of the plant
What does phloem tissue do?
Phloem tissue is the tissue in plant stems that carry materials down from the top of the plant to the bottom. Xylem tissue is the tissue in plant stems that carry materials up from the bottom of the plant to the top. An easy way to remember this is: phloem=LOWem. Xylem=HIGHlem.
What plant tissue transports sugar solution?
Xylem moves water upward and Phloem move food and nutrients downward to the roots.
Which is vascular tissue in plants?
Phloem
What are the tissues of leaf on a plant that carries the sugar molecules?
phloem tissues are the tissues that carry sugars and other minerals throughout plant. phloem goes both ways in a plant up and down. phloem are little tubes.
Which part of a plant grows downwards and draws food from the soil?
Phloem
