Plant transport tissues

?
xylem
transports water and minerals from the roots to the stem to the leaves
1 of 16
xylem characteristics
narrow, hollow, dead, filled with lignins
2 of 16
vessels lose....
their end walls so the xylem forms a continuous hollow tube
3 of 16
vessels become....
strengthened by lignin to support the plant
4 of 16
lignin
carbohydrate material lining the xylem vessels to provide strength
5 of 16
phloem
the tissue in plants that transports products of photosynthesis
6 of 16
products of photosynthesis
sugars, amino acids
7 of 16
translocation
transport of substances in the phloem
8 of 16
sieve tubes
conducting cells that make up the phloem
9 of 16
nuclei
controls what happens in the cell, chromosomes are found in the nuclei
10 of 16
cytoplasm
living substance inside the cell, connects one cell to the next
11 of 16
companion cells
lie next to sieve tube and provides it with energy for transportation
12 of 16
xylem type of transport
physical process
13 of 16
xylem direction of transport
upwards
14 of 16
phloem direction of transport
upwards and downwards
15 of 16
phloem type of transport
requires energy
