The phloem is the tissue around the stem, which is responsible for carrying nutrients to the parts of the plant that need them. Removing this tissue leads the plants to starve, and eventually die.

Which condition involves tissue deat that is usually associated with a loss of circulation?

Gangrene is a condition that involves tissue death usually associated with a loss of circulation. It can be caused by factors such as infection, poor blood flow, or trauma, leading to the affected tissue becoming dark, discolored, and eventually dying. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause and, in severe cases, surgical removal of the affected tissue.


What will happen if the phloem at the base of a branch is removed?

The accumulated food may be stored in the stem tissues. If there are developing fruits, the fruit may be the storage organ. A apple producer repeatedly won the apple contest at the state fair. His secret method was to select well shaped apples on a few branches and girdle (remove the phloem) the branch with the selected apple(s). The apples would grow larger and much sweeter than other apples on the tree!


What would happen to a plant if the xylem tubes but not the phloem tubes in its stem were cut?

The plant would wilt and die as it would not be able to receive water from the roots. For this reason cut flowers are placed in water to extend their life. If a vascular plant is subjected to cut its phloem in the stem region (leaving its xylem tissue intact), this plant will die of starvation because transportation of water and menerals is done by xylem and phloem transports the prepared food material to different plant parts. In a situation where phloem is dis-connected to the roots, the food supply to the roots will be stopped. Thus roots in the absence of nourishment will not be able to absorb water and minerals and the plant will die ultimately.


What is the medical terminology for reduction of oxygen supply to tissue?

The medical term for the reduction of oxygen supply to tissue is ischemia. This condition can lead to tissue damage or cell death if not promptly treated. Symptoms of ischemia can include pain, numbness, or tissue discoloration.


Lack of blood to a tissue fed by blocked arteries is called?

Ischemia. It occurs when the blood supply to a tissue is restricted or blocked, leading to a decrease in oxygen and nutrient delivery, which can result in tissue damage or cell death.
