Question

Xylem transports manufactured food from leaves to all parts of plants.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Xylem and phloem. Plants have tissues to transport water, nutrients and minerals. Xylem transports water and mineral salts from the roots up to other parts of the plant, while phloem transports sucrose and amino acids between the leaves and other parts of the plant.

Answer 2

Transport of Water and minerals :

• Xylem tissues of plants have interconnected network of vessels and tracheids of roots stems and leaves.

• They form continuous system of water conducting channels which reaches all parts of the plants .

• At the roots, cells in contact with the soil actively take up ions creating a difference in the concentration of these ions between the roots and soil.

• The water that enters into roots from soil eliminate this difference that is by making the concentrations equal.

• Hence there is a steady movement of water into root xylem from the soil that creates a column of water pushing upwards.

• Another strategy used by plants to move water upwards in xylem over the highest points of plant is transpiration that is loss of water from stomata .

• The water which is lost through stomata is replaced by water from the xylem vessels in the leaf .

• Evaporation of water molecules from leaf's cells creates a suction which pose water from the xylem cells of the root.
