Transport system in all higher plants is made up of a special tissue called ____

Open in App

Solution

Conducting tissue:
Plants absorb water and minerals from the soil with the help of roots.
From the roots, they are transported to leaves where they are used to synthesize food.
The food prepared by the leaves is transported to all parts of the plants.
The transport system in all higher plants is made up of a special tissue called the conducting tissue.
It is made up of two tissues- Xylem, Phloem
Xylem transports water and minerals from roots upwards, towards the leaves.
Phloem distributes food prepared by the leaves to different parts of the plant.
Final answer: The transport system in all higher plants is made up of a special tissue called conducting tissue.

Q. Water and dissolved minerals get into the root hair of a plant by a process called A and enter the conducting tissue B. The process C helps the water and dissolved minerals to move up through the tissue B in roots and stem, and reach the leaves of a plant. In the leaves food is made by a process D. This food is then transported to all the parts of a plant through tissue E. The process of distributing food made in the leaves to all the parts of the plants is called F.

Q. (a) Name the tissue which transports soluble products of photosynthesis in a plant.
(b) Name the tissue which transports water and minerals in a plant.

The transport system in plants consists of two kinds of tissues X and Y. The tissue X is made up of living cells and consists of two components A and B. The component A has tiny pores in its end walls and contains only cytoplasm but no nucleus. On the other hand, component B has cytoplasm as well as nucleus. The tissue Y is made up of dead cells and consists of two components C and D. The component C has open ends whereas component D does not have open ends. In flowering plants, either only C or both C and D transport water but D is the only water conducting tissue in non-flowering plants.
