12.3 Transport systems in plants: phloem

The transportation of sugars within plants is essential for growth. The phloem is the vessel that transports products of photosynthesis via active transport. The phloem consists of two types of living cells: companion cells and sieve tube cells. 1 Compare and contrast companion cells and sieve tube cells.

2 What is the function of the plasmodesmata?

3 Use a diagram to demonstrate how sugar is moved through the plant.
