Study Notes
Plant Tissue Transport Systems
- Xylem tissue is responsible for the transport of water and minerals from the roots to other parts of the plant.
- The primary function of xylem is to facilitate upward movement of water and dissolved minerals through a process called transpiration.
- Phloem tissue transports sugars and other organic compounds from the leaves (where photosynthesis occurs) to other parts of the plant, including roots and growing tissues.
- Xylem and phloem together form the vascular system in plants, crucial for nutrient distribution and overall health.
