Chapter 35.3, Problem 1C
Summary Introduction
To determine: The way by which the direction of transport differs in xylem and phloem.
Introduction: Vascular plants consist of two specialized tissues called as xylem and phloem that act as conducting tubes in plants for the transportation of water and sugar molecules throughout the plant. The xylem vessel helps in transporting the water and the minerals from the roots to the leaves and the phloem. Vessels are involved in transporting the prepared food (glucose) from leaves to all parts of the plants.
