  1. Plant Transport System By: Kareem Ahmed

  2. Plant Transport System • The plant transport system uses many different thin tubes inside it that carry liquids up and down the stem and all around the plant. • The two main systems that are used are xylem and phloem. • Xylem- Xylem moves water through the plant and solutes it. Phloem- Phloem moves substances and food from the leaves to the rest of the plant.

  3. Diffusion • Definition: Diffusion is the transport system of plants used to carry things through their body. • Diffusion can only be used on very small organisms like plants because other bodies are too large to simply diffuse materials in an out.

  4. Human Transport System • There is also a human transport system that transfers the same things with the human body. • The blood is our transport system It brings our food and oxygen to our cells. • It also removes things that can harm us like carbon dioxide and waste chemicals

  5. Xylem • The xylem system is the system of bringing water all the way from the roots or earth across the plant and to the laves. • The Xylems systems tubes are very strong and thick tubes. They move minerals and water to the leaves where they will be ready to use for photosynthesis.

  6. Xylem- Structure • When water and minerals are absorbed by the roots they are not immediately sent up they are brought through xylem (plant tissue). • There are tracheary elements that together help transport water through the xylem they are the tracheids and vessel elements.

  7. Phloem • The Phloem system is the system of moving dissolved sugars and amino acids which are made in the leaves by photosynthesis to the rest of the plant. • The phloem tubes carries the food to every part of the plant.

  8. Phloem Structure • The Phloem has many supportive cells such as fibers and sclereids but phloem tissue also consists of conducting cells. • The conducting cells include specialized and unspecialized cells which are companion and albuminous cells.

  9. Photosynthesis • Photosynthesis is the process plants use to create food using the suns energy and a few simple substances around them. • The substances needed for photosynthesis are chlorophyll ,carbon dioxide and water combined with the suns power creates glucose which is the plants food used to sustain it.
