Answer:

What Are The Constituents Of Phloem?

Phloem is a living tissue in vascular plants which conducts the soluble organic compounds synthesized during photosynthesis downwards from the leaves.

Listed below are the constituents of phloem:

  • Companion cells – it appears to check the activity of the adjacent sieve element and participates in loading and unloading of the sugar into the sieve element 

  • Sieve tubes – these elongated living cells, conveys carbohydrates, chiefly sucrose from leaves to roots and fruits

  • Phloem fibres – they are commercially useful as they possess great pliability and tensile strength 

  • Phloem parenchyma – also known as transfer cells, they are found near the finest branches, ends of sieve tubes in leaf veinlets, functional here in conveying food
