Phloem cells, on the other hand, transport stuff mostly in the opposite direction as xylem cells. They move the sugar produced by photosynthesis from the leaves to the rest of the plant.

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 ...

Maple syrup is made from the sap of maple trees. Although the sugar maple typically has the highest percentage of sugar in ...

The commenter continued that as time passes, the xylem and phloem (vascular tissues in plants that transport water, nutrients, and food throughout the plant) expand with the width of the tree ...

it’s probably because you were taught about phloem and xylem when you learned about plant biology in middle school science class. Those two terms describe the complex tissues that transport food ...

Vascular cambium produces xylem (wood) and phloem, and together with the cork cambium, which produces a protective layer at the surface called phellem (cork), they provide thickness to plant organs.

The vascular network consisting of phloem and xylem (wood) provides plants with structural support and long-distance transport that specifies further downstream processes in the sink tissues (such as ...
