xylem and phloem Flashcards
what does xylem tissue transport
water and minerals from roots to stem, leaves and flowers
how does water move into the roots
osmosis
how do minerals move into roots
active transport
what does the phloem tissue transport
sucrose and amino acids
what is the movement translocation
phloem, Transport sucrose and
amino acids. Moved from leaves to the meristems cells, and storage tissues in the
roots
does a xylem have a cell wall
no
does a xylem have cytoplasm
no
flow of xylem
upwards
xylem made from-
dead xylem cells
what are the walls of xylem thickened by
lignin
what is phloem made from
living cells
does a phloem have cell walls
yes, at each end but they’re not completely broken down ( form sieve plates)
what is the cell wall made from
cellulose
flow of phloem
up and down
what does the phloem do
