Chapter 28.1, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The role of vascular tissue system that enable leaves and roots to function together in supporting growth and development of the whole plant.
Introduction:
The vascular tissue system is comprised by higher plants that are termed as vascular plants. They containxylem (lignified tissues) to conduct the water and minerals throughout the whole plant. Phloem (non-lignified tissues) is present for conduction of photosynthesis. Such as ferns, gymnosperms and

Students have asked these similar questions
(a) What structure can be found in a cross-section of a stem, leaf, and root? (b) How do these structure help these parts to perform their function?
6) Match the tissue on the left with the description of the function it generally performs for the
plant on the right:
a) phloem
flexible support, such as in petioles and herbaceous stems.
b) xylem
forms an outer barrier for leaves, young stems and roots.
c) collenchyma
conducts water and dissolved nutrients from the roots to
other plant tissues.
support of vascular tissue in older woody plants and
formation of very hard plant structures such as nut shells.
d) periderm
e) parenchyma
metabolism and storage.
f) sclerenchyma
conducts molecules produced by the plant throughout the
plant body.
g) epidermis
provides physical protection for woody plants.

Discuss which pathway permits the passage of most solutes and water inside the roots? Which pathway allows the entry of most of the water and some of the solutes inside the root tissue? Explain how the Casparian strip creates a barrier for substance moving through this pathway and how it is circumvented.
