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 trunk.

We can look at trees as an example of this secondary growth, through the annual rings that can often be identified. Each season new cells of both xylem and phloem are differentiated from the ...

Back in high school, I learned that xylem carries water and nutrients up from the roots to the leaves and that phloem carries the sugars that are products of photosynthesis down from the leaves to ...

Back in high school I learned that xylem carries water and nutrients up from the roots to the leaves and that phloem carries sap containing the sugars that are products of photosynthesis, down ...

Figure 1: Phloem and xylem transport in plants. Plants possess different transport systems that can be classified according to the distance and the direction of transport. To assure that the ...
