One goes up... and one goes down. I was a college freshman in Botany 101 when I first learned about xylem and phloem, the two transport tissues which carry water and nutrients up and down a tree's ...

Remember Biology 101? Part of the basic lesson was learning about xylem and phloem – the transportation system that all plants have to move water and nutrients up – xylem – and move sugars ...

The cambium and its "zone" is a cell generator (reproductive tissue called growth meristem) that produces both the inner bark cells of the phloem and new living wood cells in the xylem.

The two tissue types that comprise the conducting system of plants are the xylem and phloem (zigh-lem and flow-um). Both tissues are found throughout the plant, carrying substances to and from ...

A tree’s vascular system is composed of tubes called xylem and phloem. Back in high school I learned that xylem carries water and nutrients up from the roots to the leaves and that phloem ...

Specialised plant cells include root hair cells, palisade cells, xylem cells and phloem cells. Just like animals, plants are made of tiny little cells. Like animal cells, basic plant cells have a ...

and dicots (most trees, shrubs and other broadleaf plants), and this has some significant implications on the overall vascular system structure; each of these has both xylem and phloem tissues ...
