Because the function of the phloem in plants is to transport sugars to the roots if the phloem of a plant was destroyed the first affected process would be transporting sugars to the roots.

What is the Process by which food and water is carried through a plant?

Xylem


Where does the xylem get water?

The xylem gets water from the roots of the plant through the process of transpiration and root pressure. Water is absorbed by the plant's roots from the soil and transported through the xylem tissues to the rest of the plant.


A plant grows in soil that has been contaminated with toxins. Through which structure would the toxins first spread into the plant?

Xylem


What do plants use xylem vessels for?

Plants use xylem vessels to transport water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. Xylem vessels also provide structural support to the plant. Additionally, xylem helps in the process of transpiration, which is the loss of water vapor from the plant.


What is the mechanism of water movement through the xylem?

Water is pulled upwards through the xylem by transpiration, the process where water evaporates from the leaves creating a negative pressure that draws water molecules up the plant. This cohesion-tension theory relies on the cohesive properties of water molecules and the tension created when water molecules adhere to the walls of the xylem vessels.


What is the first structure by which toxins enter plants growing in contaminated soils?

The first structures by which toxins enter plants growing in contaminated soils is the xylem.


In how many directions does xylem move water and minerals?

Xylem moves water and minerals in one direction, upward from the roots to the stems and leaves through a process called transpiration.


Is xylem stem monocot?

The xylem is responsible for the transport of water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves. In the leaf, the xylem continues this transport to the cells in the leaf to ensure that enough water is present for photosynthesis to occur.


Tubes that carry water and minerals in plants?

Xylem tissue is responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. It consists of specialized cells that form tubes to facilitate the movement of fluids. This process helps provide nutrients and support for the plant's growth and development.
