The structure and function of xylem and phloem?

Answer 1

Xylem caries water and disolved nutrients from the roots throughout the plant.

Phloem carries/ distributes the products of photosynthesis (mainly from the leaves) to the rest of the plants.

A good way to remember their function is:

Xylem is the upward conduction of water while phloem is the upward and downward conduction of food and minerals.

Answer 2

The Xylem and Phloem are found in the vascular tissue system in plant organisms. The Xylem transports water and mineral ions from the root to the rest of the plant, and the Phloem carries sugars and various other nutrients throughout the plant

Answer 3

Xylem and Phloem are found in the vascular tissue system in plant organisms. The xylem transports the mineral icons from the root to the rest of the plant, and the phloem carries the sugar and various other nutrients throughout the plant.

Answer 4

Xylem and Phloem are two conductive tissues found in most plants. Xylem is responsible for the movement of water and dissolved minerals within the plant (mainly from the roots to the leaves); Phloem is responsible for the transport of the products of photosynthesis throughout the plant.

Answer 5

Xylem is a vascular tissue that transports water and minerals from roots to other parts of the plant, while phloem transports sugars, amino acids, and other organic compounds produced through photosynthesis from leaves to other parts of the plant. Xylem consists of vessels and tracheids for water transport, whereas phloem is made up of sieve tubes for nutrient transport. Both tissues are critical for the growth and survival of plants.

Answer 6

Xylem transports water and ions. Phloem transports organic food.
