Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Transportation is the process of transport of food, minerals and other solutes to all parts of the plant body. It is carried out by Xylem and Phloem. It is termed as Translocation which means the movement of food and minerals from the soil to all parts of the plant body.

- The conducting tissue found in vascular plants that functions in transportation of nutrients throughout the plant and is made of living sclerenchyma and parenchyma cells is the _________ -endosperm. -xylem. -sporopollenin. -lycophyll. -phloem.arrow_forwardHow do you recognize the following in a plant cell a chloroplast a vacuole a raphid a cystolith Why is the cell wall important in plant design? In terms of structure and composition, differentiate between primary and secondary cell walls. Tabulate the differences between typical dicot and typical monocot stems with respect to arrangement of the three tissue systems.arrow_forwardIn plants, water is transported through vessels called xylern. The cohesiveness of water molecules allows them to travel up the walls of the vessel. However, for most plants this is not enough to move the water all the way to the top of the plant. How do plants overcome the force of gravity and move water to their upper tissues ? Root hairs push water through the roots and up into the xylem. Plants absorb water through transpiration to supply their upper tissues with water . С The guard cells surrounding the stomata expand and contract, pushing water through the xylem. Water escapes from the leaves through transpiration, creating a vacuum which pulls water up the xylem.arrow_forward
