What does the stem do on a plant?
The stem of a plant serves as a support structure, holding up the plant and its leaves, flowers, and fruits towards the sunlight. It also transports water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant and helps in the process of photosynthesis.
How does the stem help the plant get what it needs?
The stem of a plant acts as a conduit, transporting water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves and other parts of the plant through vascular tissues. It also provides support for the plant, allowing it to reach sunlight for photosynthesis and to disperse seeds. Additionally, the stem can store reserves of nutrients and energy for future growth.
What affects a plant's stem thickness?
If it does not have enough sun the stem will be spindly and not look well more stem thickness is highly regulated and is related to overall growth speed. one can use plant hormones to slow down growth rate resulting is shorter and thicker stems look up tropic response in plant growth more a plant's stem gains thickness by growth of lateral meristems. Various factors affect the growth rates of these - namely water and food availability and sunlight. When the stem is regularly trimmed and prunned as seen bonsai plants.
What is the scientific name of stem?
Stem is the correct term. However, there are scientific names for parts of the stem. The main bits between where it branches off into leaves are called 'internodes'. The spot where it branches off is called the 'node'. The bit that branches off is called the 'petiole'.

The two types of tubes in a plant are the?

If the stem is larger does it have more tubes?
Not necessarily. While a larger stem may have more overall vascular tissue, the number of conducting tubes (xylem and phloem) within the stem is dependent on the plant species and its specific growth requirements. So, stem size and the number of tubes may not always directly correlate.
What tubes in the plant's stem transport water?
The other tube that transports water and minerals is the xylem.
Why are aphids found mostly on the stem of the plant?

What part of the stem do you think celery strings are?
The stringy cells are the xylem of the plant (tubes that the plant brings water through)
What is the name for the tubes on a stem that carry food?
