Phloem parenchyma acts like​

Answer 1

Answer:

The parenchyma cells in the phloem tissue are known as phloem parenchyma. There are different types of phloem parenchyma cells, companion cells, albuminous and other parenchyma cells. The transfer cells are a type of companion cells. These are the cells which have folded cell wall surface which help in scavenging the solutes which require ATP to move across the membranes. 

The parenchyma cells act as packaging material. These cells fill the gaps between the other cells in the phloem. 

The sieve cells are the conducting cells in the phloem. These are the cells which help in the transport of sugar. 

Answer 2

,In phloem tissues, these parenchyma cells contain different ergastic substances, e.g. starch, crystals, and tannins. Some of these cells act as storage cells, storing starch as grains. Others are specialized parenchyma cells associated with sieve tubes and are called companion cells. ... companion cell.
