TRANSPORT SYSTEM IN PLANTS TRANSPORT SYSTEM IN PLANT XYLEM PHLOEM
XYLEM TISSUE • Xylem tissue contains long xylem vessels adapted for the rapid transport of water and dissolved mineral ions. • Movement is always up the stem.
LONGITUDINAL SECTION OF XYLEM VESSELS • Walls are thickened with lignin.This is waterproof and strong enough to prevent the cells collapsing inwards. • No cytoplasm or organelles, cells are dead. • End walls removed, cells join to form long tubes called xylem vessels.
PHLOEM TISSUE • Phloem tissue contains sieve tubes and companion cells. • It is adapted for transport of the organic products of photosynthesis. The transport is called translocation.
LONGITUDINAL SECTION OF PHLOEM SIEVE TUBES • Thin cytoplasm, cell must remain alive or sugar transport stops. • No nucleus or organelles, so sugar flow is not impeded. • Pores in sieve plates allow sugars to pass from one cell to the next. • Companion cell does not transport sugar but carries out some life process of the sieve tubes.
