Functions of Xylem & Phloem
英语4级成绩查询>青岛雅思培训
Plants contain two types of transport vesl:
Xylem vesls – transport water and minerals (pronounced: zi-lem) from the roots to the stem and leaves
Phloem vesls – transport food materials (mainly sucro and amino acids) made by the plant from photosynthesising leaves to non-photosynthesising regions in the roots and stem (pronounced: flow-em)
The vesls are arranged throughout the root, stem and leaves in groups called vascular bundles

If you are asked to identify the xylem or phloem in a diagram showing a cross-ction of a root, stem or leaf just remember that xylem is always on the inside and phloem is always on the outside.
Root Hair Cells
polyethylene terephthalateRoot hairs are single-celled extensions of epidermis cells in the root
They grow between soil particles and absorb water and minerals from the soil
Water enters the root hair cells by osmosis
This happens becau soil water has a higher water potential than the cytoplasm of the root hair cell
Structure of the root
How the Large Surface Area of a Root Hair Cell is Uful The root hair increas the surface area of the cells significantly
This large surface area is important as it increas the rate of the absorption of water by osmosis and mineral ions by active transport
