Transport water in plants - Xylem

These are made up of group of specialised cells that conduct food, water and dissolved salts down or up the stem.

• phloem

• xylem

• vascular bundles

• roots

Where is xylem found in the plant (in correct order)?

• leave -> roots -> stem

• roots -> stem -> leaves

• root hairs -> leaves -> stomata

This vascular tissue (tubes) is responsible for the transportation of water and minerals up from the roots to the stem then leaves

• Stomata

• Shoot

• Phloem

• Xylem

Leafy celery stalks were placed into coloured water in a beaker overnight. The following day, the students observed the color of the celery leaves changed from green to red. The students cut across the edge of the celery and observed the small tube openings are also red.

How do the plant systems work together to make the movement of the liquid possible?

• The roots absorb the water and dissolved minerals and then move up the stem

• The roots anchor the plant into the soil and the stem holds the leaves up.

• The roots absorb carbon dioxide and move up the stem.

• The roots and the stem lose water vapor to the soil.
