Xylem and Phloem - Transport in Plants | Biology | FuseSchool

Xylem and Phloem - Transport in Plants | Biology | FuseSchool
Plants have a transport system to move things around.
The xylem moves water and solutes, from the roots to the leaves in a process known as transpiration.
The phloem moves glucose and amino acids from the leaves all around the plant, in a process known as translocation.
The xylem and phloem are arranged in groups called vascular bundles. The arrangement is slightly different in the roots to the stems. The xylem are made up of dead cells, whereas the phloem is made up of living cells.

[@steezmonster92]

xylem - this moves water and nutrients from the roots in the soil back to the leaves. phloem - this moves glucose and amino acids made in the leaves to the rest of the plant. These "tubes" are coupled and travel together in bundles called "vascular bundles." The arrangement of vascular bundles is different in the roots and the stem. The job of the roots is to be tough and hard and therefore the vascular bundle is in the center and surrounded by tough tissue. The job of the stem is to resist bending and therefore the vascular bundles are on the periphery/edge Xylem flow is one directional - from the roots to the leaves. Phloem flow is bidirectional allowing for amino acids and sucrose to be sent where they are needed.

[@sarikaasinghh3640]

[@wantingloh7267]

There is a mistake at 2:11... It should be sucrose and amino acids being transported down the phloem (as stated earlier in the video at 1:56), and not glucose and amino acids.

[@davidd1429]

they are just saying sugar...

[@sanjanakaur7027]

Yeah ! You're right because glucose is only for storage purposes as it's too large to be transported . BTW, my best friend's name is Wan Ting too :'-)

[@zainabdar9342]

sucrose is a larger molecule tho.

[@evaaugusta2744]

sanjana kaur glucose is not for storage purposes as it is too reactive and soluble on water. Glucose is only used in the respiration to release energy. Where as sucrose is less reactive, soluble and still small enough to be transported to all parts of the plant

[@peachanime899]

sugar is the same as glucose

[@anyak7298]

It is quite incredible how there was so much good information in just a 2 & 1/2 min video. I especially found it useful when you mentioned how vascular bundles are found towards the outer edge in the stem to resist being squished/bent, while vascular bundles in roots are found in the center, in part, to resist pulling and the unearthing of the plant. I was aware that was how they were arranged, I just never knew exactly why. Great video!

[@zheminationstudio4873]

The animations are very beautiful and clear! Though, there is one thing that is not very explicit in this video is that the plant xylem is made of multiple vessels and each individual vessel has end walls (containing pit membranes). Within each xylem conduit, there is no end wall between vessel elements (individual dead cells). But overall, this video is very nicely done!

so materials that go through the plant go through both the xylem and phloem?

Correct, only the materials transported are different (refer to 0:45 and 2:06): Xylem - water and minerals, Phloem - glucose and amino acids.
