Answer 7

Companion cell fakes control of sieve tubes
Less resistance for nutrients to move quicker
Sieve tubes has a sieve plate

Question 8

Characteristics of phloem

Answer 8

Has sieve tubes and companion cells
Walls are thinner than that of xylem but cells are similarly arranged end to end
Responsible for transport if the products if photosynthesis e.g sugars from leaves to storage areas of plant
