Question

(29) Explain the complex tissue transporting organic solutes?
​

Answer 1

hey mate , here's your answer.....

The transportation of oraganic solutes is carried out by the tissues- "XYLEM" and "PHLOEM".

•Functioning of XYLEM:-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The "XYLEM" tissue helps in transporting water , minerals and nutrients absorbed by the roots to different parts of the plant.

•FUNCTIONING OF PHLOEM:-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The "PHLOEM" tissue helps in the transportation of organic solutes from the leaves after photosynthesis to other parts of the plant.




•EXTRA INFORMATION :-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*The process of transportation of organic solutes is also called "TRANSLOCATION".

*The Xylem also provides structural support to the stem of a plant.

*The Phloem supports bi-directional flow of organic solutes.

*The Xylem supports uni-directional flow of organic solutes.

*The Cells of PHLOEM contain large quantities of organic solutes.

* The organic solutes stored in the cells of PHLOEM are mainly sugars such as sucrose in soluble form.
