In a plant, Phloem tissue carries photosynthesis products (sugars e.g. sucrose) from leaves to roots, growing tissue and fruits. But not minerals (these are carried from the roots to the leaves by the Xylem).
No, mature phloem tissue is not dead upon maturity. Phloem tissue remains alive and functional, aiding in the transport of sugars and other organic compounds throughout the plant. The cells in mature phloem tissue are specialized for this function and typically stay alive for an extended period.
The food conducting tissue of a plant is called phloem. Phloem is responsible for transporting sugars and other organic nutrients produced by photosynthesis throughout the plant.
Parenchyma cells in "phloem tissue"
Phloem and xylem are the two main types of vascular tissue found in plants. Xylem is the tissue that mainly carries water, and a few minerals, in the system. Phloem is the tissue that carries photosynthetic materials through the plant.
No, wood is not another name for phloem tissue. Wood is made up of xylem tissue, which conducts water and minerals in plants, while phloem tissue is responsible for transporting sugars and other organic nutrients.

The vascular cambium tissue makes xylem and phloem.

Plant tissue/ conducting tissue
Phloem and xylem are the two main types of vascular tissue found in plants. Xylem is the tissue that mainly carries water, and a few minerals, in the system. Phloem is the tissue that carries photosynthetic materials through the plant.
Companion cells found in phloem tissue have a nucleus. These cells are closely associated with sieve tube elements and play a role in supporting their function by providing energy and nutrients.
No, wood is not another name for phloem tissue. Wood is made up of xylem tissue, which conducts water and minerals in plants, while phloem tissue is responsible for transporting sugars and other organic nutrients.
Phloem
Phloem fibers provide structural support to the phloem tissue, helping it maintain its integrity and function in transporting sugars, hormones, and other nutrients throughout the plant. They also aid in defense mechanisms against pathogens and mechanical stress.
Xylem tissue is responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the stem and leaves of a plant. It consists of specialized cells that form a network of tubes to facilitate the upward flow of water and nutrients.
Phloem tissue is responsible for transporting food, such as sugars and nutrients, from the leaves and stems of a plant to other parts of the plant for growth and energy. It is part of the vascular system of a plant, along with xylem tissue which transports water and minerals.
