water transportxylem pathwaysApplication of dyes to roots or shoots is an easy way to visualize xylem pathways in plants. It was shown that upward transport was sectorial straight. A main root appeared to contribute to the transport to several basal shoots. Application of dyes to shoots showed ...
Mason and Maskell carried out fundamental research on transport in plants at the St. Augustine Campus of the University of the West Indies in the 1920s and 1930s. The phloem is comprised of sieve tubes, companion cells, parenchyma cells, and fibers. Sieve tubes are separated into sieve tube...
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. ...

5.Conclusion: Since xylem is responsible for water transport and not food transport, the original statement is false. The correct statement would be that phloem is the food conducting tissue in plants. Final Answer: The statement "Xylem is the food conducting tissue in plants" isFalse. ...
Transport in Plants In order to survive, plants need to move materials around all of their parts. Energy needs to be moved from the leaves where photosynthesis occurs. Raw materials must be moved up from the roots. Specialized tissues accomplish this task in va...
The xylem of vascular plants distributes water and dissolved minerals that are taken up by the roots to the rest of the plant. The cells that transport xylem sap are dead upon maturity, and the movement of xylem sap is a passive process. Tracheids and vessel elements transport xylem sap ...
operates through passive mechanisms, while phloem consists of living cells and relies on active transport. These tissues play crucial roles in the overall functioning of plants, facilitating nutrient distribution, structural support, and energy storage as this even helps us to knowwhat is Xylem and ...
aAccording to the cohesion-tension theory, water transport in plants occurs along a gradient of negative pressure (tension) in the dead, tube-like cells of the xylem, with transpiration, water adhesion to cell alls, and surface tension providing the forces necessary to lift water against gravity...
