Tranport in Plants

Front

What is the arrangement of xylem and phloem in the leaf?

Back

Xylem is located above phloem

Front

What is the primary function of xylem?

Back

Xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant

Front

What is the primary function of phloem?

Back

Phloem transports nutrients and food produced by photosynthesis throughout the plant

Front

What role do roots play in plant transport?

Back

Roots absorb water and minerals from the soil

Front

What is transpiration in plants?

Front

(T/F) Movement in the phloem tissue goes in one direction

Back

False

Front

What process allows mineral ions to move from the soil into the roots of plants?

Back

Active transport is the process that allows mineral ions to move from the soil into the roots against the concentration gradient
