plant transport bundles

Cards (4)

  • the phloem transports glucose and amino acids made from the plant from photosynthesising leaves to the rest of the plant
  • the vascular bundles includes the plant's phloem and xylem
  • xylem is responsible for water transportation, it has long narrow cells with thick walls that are lignified (made out of cellulose)
  • phloem is responsible for sugar transportation, it has sieve tube elements which have no nucleus or organelles so they can be easily filled with sugars
