    1) The document discusses plant tissues, specifically conducting tissues known as xylem and phloem. 2) Xylem tissue consists of tracheids, vessels, xylem parenchyma and fibers. It provides support and transports water and minerals upwards. 3) Phloem tissue consists of sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem parenchyma and fibers. It transports food materials downward and throughout the plant.

    CONDUCTING TISSUES

    Permanent tissue: 1) Protective tissue


    2) Supporting tissue
    3) Conducting tissue

    Conducting tissue [vascular tissue]


    Two types: 1) Xylem 2) Phloem

    1. Xylem
    Xylem cells are elongated and thick-walled.
    Function: Xylem provides for the upward movement of water and dissolved materials.
    Xylem tissue consists of four types of cells:
    i. Tracheids
    ii. Vessels [tracheae]
    iii. Xylem parenchyma
    iv. Xylem fibres

    (i) Tracheids
     Tracheids are elongated dead cells with large cavities without any contents.
     They have highly lignified cell walls.
    Function: Tracheids provide mechanical support.

    (ii) Xylem vessels or tracheae


     Xylem vessels are tube-like structures.
     They have lignified cell walls.
    Function: Xylem vessels transport water and dissolved materials.

    (iii) Xylem parenchyma


     Xylem parenchyma consists of living cells.
    Function: (i) xylem parenchyma stores food (sugars, starch).
    (ii) It helps in the conduction of water and minerals.

    (iv) Xylem fibres/wood fibres/xylem sclerenchyma


     Xylem fibres are thick walled, long narrow cells with tapering ends.
    Function: Xylem fibres provide only mechanical support to the plant.

    2. Phloem
    Function: Phloem provides a passage for the upward and downward movement of
    food manufactured in the leaves.
    Xylem tissue consists of four types of cells:
    i. Sieve tubes
    ii. Companion cells
    iii. Phloem parenchyma
    iv. Phloem fibres

    (i) Sieve tubes


     Sieve tubes are made up of elongated cells placed end to end.
     Transverse walls are perforated and are called sieve plates.
    Function: Sieve tubes help in the transport of food.

    (ii) Companion cells


     Companion cells are living parenchyma cells.
    Function: Companion cells help in the functioning of sieve tube cells.

    (iii) Phloem parenchyma


    Function: Phloem parenchyma cells concerned with storage of starch, fat and other
    organic food material.

    (iv) Phloem fibres


     Phloem fibres are sclerenchymatous tissues.
    Function: Phloem fibres provide support.

    Xylem and Phloem vascular bundles


    Examples of vascular bundles: Veins of leaves

    Xylem and phloem complex tissue

    Plant tissues

    Meristematic Permanent

    Protective Supportive Conductive

    Parenchyma Collenchyma Sclerenchyma

    Xylem Phloem
    REVIEW QUESTIONS

    E. Structured/application questions:

    1. Study the diagram given below and then answer the questions that follow:
    [Diagram page no: 32]
    (a) Identify the tissue and give a reason to your answer.
    Ans: Phloem.
    Reason: Presence of sieve plate and companion cells.

    (b) Name the parts labelled 1, 2, 3 and 4.


    Ans: 1 – sieve cell 2 – Phloem parenchyma 3 – Companion cell 4 – sieve tube

    (c) Where is this tissue likely to be fund in the plant?


    Ans: Phloem is found in the veins of leaves, stem and root.

    (d) State the function of parts labelled 1, 2, 3 and 4.


    Ans: 1 – sieve cell: helps in the transport of food.
    2 – Phloem parenchyma: stores starch, fat and other organic food material.
    3 – Companion cell: Helps in the functioning of sieve cell.
    4 – Sieve plate: Helps in the transport of food.
