Xylem _____________________________ that, once matured, are hollow tubes with _________________________ stacked end to end to create a _______________ from the roots to the shoots Transport _____________________ from the roots to the leaves of the plant Once xylem cells are mature they are no longer ___________________________ 2. Phloem Transports __________________ created by photosynthesis, other chemicals and hormones throughout the plant Phloem cells are _____________________ tissue Vascular tissue is arranged in 2 different ways: 1. _______________________ – vascular bundles (one xylem and one phloem tube) are arranged _____________________ throughout the stem 2. _______________________ – vascular bundles are arranged in a _________________ formation Ground Tissue Ground tissue is the composed of all the tissue ___________________________ the dermal tissue and the vascular tissue. It performs different functions in the different parts of the plant: In roots – In Stems – In Leaves – Homework: pg. 133 #2-6
