Question

Structure and function of secondary xylem and phloem?

Answer 1

Secondary xylems can be used to distribute soluble mineral nutrients as well as water throughout the plant. In some cases, it also replaces the water lost during the process of photosynthesis and transpiration. Unlike primary xylem, secondary xylem occurs in patches from the center of the plant.

Phloem carries sugar & other organic nutrients made by plant from the leaves to the rest of the plant.

Answer 2

xylem transfer of water and soluble mineral nutrients in plants

phloem transfer of food substances in plants
