Specialized Plant Cell Types

The document covers the types of plant tissues, specifically focusing on xylem and phloem. Xylem is responsible for water conduction and mechanical support, while phloem transports organic nutrients like sucrose. The learning objectives include differentiating between xylem and phloem, identifying protective tissues in plants, and illustrating these tissues.

II. Types of Plant Tissues

Xylem (Water- conducting)

● A part of the vascular system that conveys water and


dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant and
● it also furnish mechanical support.
● Xylem consists of specialized water-conducting tissues made
up mostly of narrow, elongated, hollow cells.
● the wood of a tree is composed of xylem.

Phloem (Sugar- conducting)
● Also called bast, is the living tissue that
carries organic nutrients ,in particular,
sucrose,
● Phloem tissue consists of: conducting cells,
generally called sieve elements; parenchyma
cells, including both specialized companion cells
and unspecialized cells; and supportive cells.
