Transport in the phloem is therefore both up and down the stem. Sucrose is the transport sugar in the phloem. Transport of substances in the phloem is called translocation. Translocation requires energy as it is an active process. Phloem consists of living cells. The cells that make up the phloem are adapted to their function:. Plant transport tissues - Xylem and phloem Xylem The xylem is a tissue which transports water and minerals from the roots up the plant stem and into the leaves. The cells that make up the xylem are adapted to their function: They lose their end walls so the xylem forms a continuous, hollow tube.

They contain many cells vessel members that are interconnected through a perforation in common walls. They are involved in the conduction of water, minerals and give mechanical strength to the plant. These are dead and are tube-like cells with a tapering end. They are found in the gymnosperm and angiosperm. These cells have a thick lignified cell wall and lack protoplasm. The main function they perform is water and mineral transportation.
These are dead cells containing central lumen and lignified walls; they provide mechanical support to the plant and are responsible for water transportation. The cells of xylem called parenchyma cells store food material and are considered the living cells of xylem.
Moreover, they assist in the reduced distance transportation of water. Also, they are involved in the storage of carbohydrates, fats, and water conduction. The xylem structure can be understood by the types or divisions of xylem cells, including fiber cells, parenchyma cells, and tracheary elements. Xylem transports water and dissolved minerals as well as provides mechanical support to the plant. They also convey phytohormonal signals in the plant body.
Cohesive forces between water molecules work as a connecting way for the conduction of water within the xylem vascular system. Below are the precise functions of the xylem. How does xylem transport water? Cohesion-Adhesion theory is the hypothesis that attempts to explain how water travels upwards across the plant against gravity.
Transpiration in plants is a major factor that drives water to move up to replace water that has been lost by evaporation.
Xylem picks the water from the roots to transfer to other parts of the plants. Several cells are involved in the process of conduction or transportation of water. Read: Plant Water Regulation Lesson free tutorial. Tracheary elements including vessels and tracheids are dead cells after reaching maturity. Therefore, they act passively for water transportation. The water reaches upwards from roots towards the stem and leaves on the basis of two factors: root pressure and transpirational pull.
Around million years ago, the xylem was developed in plants due to adaptation to environmental requirements. The production of food through photosynthesis is characterized by water uptake and carbon dioxide. When plants colonized the land, they developed a more advanced transport system that increases their chances of survival on the ground. Eventually, plants evolved advanced structures, such as the xylem vascular system.
The water concentration n the plant reduced through the transpirational process that occurs through stomata taking carbon dioxide in and water out. As explained in the previous section, this transpiration helped pull water in the plant body against gravity. The development of the xylem is characterized by the bifacial lateral meristem cells and the vascular cambium that produces secondary xylem as well as secondary phloem.
Moreover, the development of xylem changes from one form to another. They are exarch , endarch, mesarch, and centrarch. The Xylem tissue is formed from meristem cells, such as those in the vascular cambium and the procambium.
The phases of development and growth of xylem tissues can be distinguished into two phases. The second phase, also known as secondary growth , is characterized by the generation of secondary xylem through a lateral meristem. The growing and developing parts of the plant contain primary xylem consisting of metaxylem and protoxylem vessels. In the early phases of xylem development, the protoxylem changed into a metaxylem.
These xylem vessels protoxylem and metaxylem can be differentiated on the basis of diameter and pattern of the cell wall secondary at the morphological level. Firstly , the protoxylem is a narrow vessel made up of small cells with cell walls containing thickenings such as helices or rings. The protoxylem cells develop and grow along with the elongation of roots or stems. Secondly , the metaxylem is larger in size with thickenings in scalariform ladder-like or pitted sheet-like.
After the period of elongation, when cells do not increase in size, the metaxylem completes its development. Thus, the xylem formed comprises dead cells that act as hollow strands to conduct water and dissolved minerals. According to research, xylem development can be enhanced through genetic engineering to get the desired results. Try to answer the quiz below to check what you have learned so far about xylem. Transport of substances in the phloem is called translocation. Phloem consists of living cells.
The cells that make up the phloem are adapted to their function:. Plant transport tissues - xylem and phloem Xylem The xylem transports water and minerals from the roots up the plant stem and into the leaves.
Vessels: Lose their end walls so the xylem forms a continuous, hollow tube. Become strengthened by a chemical called lignin.
