Xylem and Phloem - Transport in Plants

The video explores plant transport systems, focusing on xylem and phloem. Xylem moves water and minerals from roots to leaves, while phloem transports glucose and amino acids throughout the plant. The structure and arrangement of these vascular bundles vary in different plant parts, providing strength and support. Xylem consists of dead cells with lignin, making it tough, while phloem is made of living cells. The video also hints at further exploration of xylem and transpiration in the next part.

What are the two main transport systems in plants and what do they transport?

What materials are xylem vessels made of and why are they tough?

Why are the vascular bundles in the roots located in the center?

What role do phloem vessels play in the plant's transport system?

How do xylem and phloem differ in terms of the direction of transport?
