Answer 1

What are the components of the transport system in highly organized plants?

ANSWER

In highly organized plants, transport system consists of vascular tissue, namely xylem and phloem. Xylem carries water from roots to different parts of the plants. Phloem carries nutrients and food from leaves to different parts of the plants. Xylem is made up of tracheids, vessels, xylem parenchyma and xylem fibres. It is a lignified tissue. Evaporation of water from the leaves creates a transpiration pull. This results in the upward movement of water from the roots through the xylem. It shows only unidirectional flow.

Phloem is a non-lignified tissue. It is made up of sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem parenchyma and phloem fibres. They transport nutrients by the process of transportation. It shows multi-directional flow by using hydrostatic pressure.

Answer 2

Question :-

What are the main components of the system of transportation in highly organized

plants? Explain their functions .

Answer :-

Components in Transport system in highly organised plants are the vascular tissues :

• Xylem and Phloem.

Xylem and phloem are the main components in highly organized plants in transportation system.

Function of these components :-

Xylem carries water and minerals from root to the aerial parts of plants.Then Phloem carries the manufactured foods from leaves to the other parts of the plants.

Thus these two components work together to keep transport system fine and proper.
