Plants Structure

Leaves are part of a plant's shoot system. The xylem tissue transports

• the oxygen that regulates the rate of carbohydrate production

• the wax required to coat the surface of actively growing tissue

• the water and minerals that are absorbed by the roots

• bacteria needed for nitrogen fixation in root nodules

Vascular tissue (tubes) responsible for the transportation of glucose or food down and around in a plant.

• Transpiration

• Xylem

• Phloem

• Root Hairs
