Question

Vascular plants have vascular tissues called xylem and phloem that transport materials throughout the plant. Classify these materials according to whether they are transported by the xylem or the phloem. Xylem Phloem

Answer 1

Answer:

Xylem transports water from roots and stems to leaves and Phloem transports food produced from photosynthesis from leaves to roots and stems.

Explanation:

The xylem and the phloem make up the vascular tissue of a plant and transports water, sugars, and other important substances around a plant.Phloem and xylem are closely associated and are usually found right next to one another. One xylem and one phloem are known as a ‘vascular bundle’ and most plants have multiple vascular bundles running the length of their leaves, stems, and roots.

The phloem carries important sugars, organic compounds, and minerals from the leaves to the non photosynthesized part of plant such as roots and stems . The phloem is made from cells two cells

1.sieve-tube members

2.companion cells.

The xylem is responsible for keeping a plant hydrated, it transports water from stems and roots to leaves. Two different types of cells are known to form the xylem

1. tracheids

2. vessel elements.
