Vascular plants have two main transport systems which are xylem andphloem. The Xylem is a narrow tube that is involved in transporting water and minerals from the soil to the other parts of the plant while phloem is mainly responsible in transporting sugar and other byproducts of the plants. ...
Plants also have other important parts, such as the xylem and phloem, which are responsible for transporting water and nutrients throughout the plant. The stomata, found on the surface of leaves, allow the plant to exchange gases with the atmosphere. The meristem is a region ofundifferentiated ...

Guards: Protects Xylem and phloem allowing them to perform their functions. The stem tendrils are spirally coiled and help the plant to climb support. The axillary buds also get modified into thorns that protect the plant from grazing animals. ...
Head and mouth structures of the mesophyllomyzous species Zyginidia pullula (Typhlocybinae), the phloemomyzous Empoasca vitis (Typhlocybinae), and the xylemomyzous Graphocephala fennahi (Cicadellinae) were examined and shown to be very similar. On the other hand, the ratios between the ...
Plant stems are attached to roots and carry water and nutrients to the rest of the plant. Cells in the stem that carry water are called xylem cells, while those that carry food are called the phloem cells. Stems also provide support for a plant, allowing it to stand upright. Some stems...

Stems are classified as woody and herbaceous and can come in a variety of forms such as: Shoot: a young stem Twig: a young stem staying dormant in the winter Branch: a stem more than 1 year in age Trunk: the stem associated with a tree Internal parts of stems include: Xylem Phloem ...

Ferns are primitive plants that have no flowers or seeds and reproduce by spores. They do have vascular tissue, however -- the xylem that conducts water and the minerals dissolved in it from the roots, and the phloem that transports food from the leaves. They are classified as vascular plant...
