Xylems and phloems look alike due to their specialized structure and function. Xylem in the vascular plants consists of similar tissues of trachieds, vessels and xylem parenchyma and perform the same function of transportation of water and minerals, hence it looks similar in all such plants. Likewise phloem consists of sieve tubes, companion cells and phloem parenchyma and perform the same function of conduction of food material to different plant parts.

What is called the food conducting tissue of a plant?
phloem
What are the tubes called that carry water to the leaf in a plant?
The Phloem tissue carries the products of photosynthesis from the leaves to the rest of the plant
What plant tissue transports sugar solution?
Xylem moves water upward and Phloem move food and nutrients downward to the roots.
What do phloem tubes carry?
Phloem transports sugars from the photosynthetic process to the rest of the plant.
Which tubes in a plant carry glucose?
Carbohydrates are moved about plants in the sieve tubesof the phloem.This movement of materials from one part of a plant to another is called translocation. Carbohydrate is normally translocated as sucrose. If you inject glucose or fructose into a plant, it will probably be converted into sucrose before translocation.
What are the similarities between xylem and phloem?
xylem and phloem are both in plants, xylem are like he veins in a plant, they carry water to the top of the plant
Is phloem a plant or animal cell?
phloem is a plant cell
What is called the food conducting tissue of a plant?
phloem
What do the phloem do?
A phloem transports food to a plant.
What is the the role of the phloem?
Phloem takes the plant food from the leaves and takes it to other parts of the plant
Is phloem in a plant or in an animal?
Phloem is found in plants.
What is a sentence for phloem?
A plant's Vascular is made up of Phloem............
What does phloem tissue do?
Phloem tissue is the tissue in plant stems that carry materials down from the top of the plant to the bottom. Xylem tissue is the tissue in plant stems that carry materials up from the bottom of the plant to the top. An easy way to remember this is: phloem=LOWem. Xylem=HIGHlem.
What are the tubes called that carry water to the leaf in a plant?
The Phloem tissue carries the products of photosynthesis from the leaves to the rest of the plant
What plant tissue transports sugar solution?
Xylem moves water upward and Phloem move food and nutrients downward to the roots.
Which is vascular tissue in plants?
Phloem
What are the tissues of leaf on a plant that carries the sugar molecules?
phloem tissues are the tissues that carry sugars and other minerals throughout plant. phloem goes both ways in a plant up and down. phloem are little tubes.
