XYLEM CELLS DO NOT REQUIRE ENERGY TO CARRY WATER TO DIFFERENT PLANT PARTS. Summary. Description: English: Diagram of phloem tissue in plants. Microscope ...
Unlike xylem (which is composed primarily of dead cells), the phloem is composed of still-living cells that transport sap. The sap is a water-based solution, but rich in sugars made by photosynthesis. These sugars are transported to non-photosynthetic parts of the plant, such as the roots, or into storage structures, such as tubers or bulbs. [14]
English: xylem (blue) carries water from the roots upwards phloem (orange) carries products of photosynthesis from the place of their origin (source) to organs where they are needed (roots, storage organs, flowers, fruits – sink); note that e.g. the storage organs may be source and leaves may be sink at the beginning of the growing season

Vascular tissue is a complex conducting tissue, formed of more than one cell type, found in vascular plants. The primary components of vascular tissue are the xylem and phloem . These two tissues transport fluid and nutrients internally.
The normal lifespan of plant cells is one to three years. Stems have cells called meristems that annually generate new living tissue. Photosynthesis. Stems have two pipe-like tissues called xylem and phloem. The xylem tissue arises from the cell facing inside and transports water by the action of transpiration pull, capillary action, and root ...
Maturation Zone: Cells in this stage have developed differentiated characteristics and have completed maturation and elongation. The xylem system is seen to develop in this zone along with lateral root development. Elongation Zone: Cells in this stage are rapidly elongating and parts of the phloem system (sieve tubes) start to develop. As you ...
Sieve cells are long, conducting cells in the phloem that do not form sieve tubes. The major difference between sieve cells and sieve tube members is the lack of sieve plates in sieve cells. [ 1 ] They have a very narrow diameter and tend to be longer in length than sieve tube elements as they are generally associated with albuminous cells. [ 4 ]
