Question

List the constituents of the phloem. What will happen if the phloem at the base of a branch is removed.

Answer 1

Constituents of phloem are Sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem fibres and phloem parenchyma. If the phloem at the base of branch is removed, than lower area of the branch will not receive food from the leaves. But the plant will not die, as it will continue to receive food from other branches as food can move in phloem in both the directions.

Answer 2

Answer:

components of phloem are phloem parenchyma, phloem fibres, companion cells, sieve tube

if the phloem at the base is removed then the base parts only did not get food soon it will effect our roots which can't get food for long time will create roots cells to die and from this the plant can't get water and it dies
