Introduction:

Growth in plants is restricted to certain regions wherein cells divide near the tip of the plant shoot. But in animals, growth is such that cell division occurs on all parts of the body and slows down with time unlike plants wherein growth continues throughout its lifespan.

A plant stem's two main functions are to support the leaves and to transport materials between roots and leaves. As a stem develops, it possesses three types of permanent tissues: surface tissue, ground tissue, and vascular tissue. The surface and ground tissues support and give structure to the plant. The vascular tissues are the transport systems of the plant. The vascular tissues usually exist in one of three patterns and are known as the phloem and xylem. Both the xylem and phloem are made up of several different types of cells that make up transport tubes for needed nutrients. In general, xylem nutrients (sap) travel from the roots to the rest of the plant. Phloem sap is derived from photosynthesizing leaves and from there is carried throughout the plant. 24. What would we be able to study by Hg einjecting a nutrient dye into the root of a plant? A. phloem sap transport B. all vascular tissues C. xylem sap transport D. pith and cortex cells bio6 0 E. total plant photosynthesis
