Specialized Cells in Plants: Vascular Tissue 9 BIO

Vascular Bundles Vascular plants have their tissues organized in vascular bundles in their structures. Two types: Xylem- H2O transport Phloem- glucose transport

Xylem Xylem tissue is designed to draw water up from the roots  stems leaves

Phloem Phloem tissue is designed to transport the glucose from the leaves to the rest of the plant.

Xylem and Phloem Work together to draw water up and use water to help distribute glucose to the entire plant.

Capillary Action Hydrogen bonding helps the volume of water in xylem to draw water up from the roots.
