Plant Vessels
Biology: Cambridge International A Level, topic 7.1.1
Xylem and Phloem
Xylem & phloem are the major transport vessels in plants.
Xylem & phloem
- The xylem transports water from the roots of plants to cells for photosynthesis.
- The phloem transports the products of photosynthesis from the leaves where they are made to other areas of the plant.
- The arrangements of the xylem and phloem vessels in a dicotyledonous plant are shown in the subsequent slides:
