3. Biology Water flow through plants

?
What does the phloem transport ?
Food that are made in leaves for growing regions and storage organs (thsi happens in both directions)
1 of 5
What is the phloem made up of?
Living ells with small holes in the ends this allows for things to flow through
2 of 5
What does the xylem transport?
It carries water and minerals from the roots to the stem and leaves in the transpiration steam (this inly happens in one direction)

What is the xylem tubes made up from ?
It's made of dead cells joined end to end with no end walls, just a hole through the middle of it

What is the transpiration system?
This is when water evaporates or diffuses inside the leaves,which created a shortage of water so more water must be drawn up from the roots through the xylem tubes
