Which tissue system conducts water and nutrients in a plant?

The vascular tissue system, consisting of xylem and phloem, conducts water and nutrients in a plant. Xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while phloem distributes sugars produced through photosynthesis to different parts of the plant.


Is the vascular tissue that conducts water and nutrients in a plant phoem?

No, it is mostly the xylem that performs this task.


What type of tissue connects all parts of a plant allowing for nutrients and water to flow through the plant?

That is the vascular tissue. Xylem conducts water and minerals up from the roots to the leaves of the plant and phloem conducts the sugars made in the plant to where they are needed.


Which part of the plant supports the branches and leaves?

The stem/trunk of the plant supports the branches and leaves. It provides structure and transport for water and nutrients throughout the plant.


What part of the flowering plant supports the leaves and transports water and water and nutrients to the leaves?

Are the vascular tissue that conducts water and nutrients in a plant is phloem?

Yes...........Phloem is the tissue that transports sugar from leaves to all parts of the plant by the process called Translocation.


What makes up the top of the soil profile?

The top of the soil profile consists of the O horizon (organic layer) followed by the A horizon (topsoil). The O horizon contains organic matter like leaf litter and decomposing plant material, while the A horizon is rich in minerals, nutrients, and organic material which supports plant growth.


What is the origin of the word xylem?

The word "xylem" comes from the Greek word "xylon," which means "wood." Xylem is a type of plant tissue that conducts water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant.


What conducts food from the leaves down to the roots of plant?

The phloem tissue in plants conducts food, such as sugars and nutrients, from the leaves down to the roots. This transport system allows for the distribution of photosynthetic products throughout the plant for growth and metabolism.


Does a stem hold the plant in the ground?

Yes, a stem supports the plant and anchors it in the ground. It also allows for the transport of water and nutrients between the roots and leaves.
