3
New cards

phloem function

movement of nutrients to growing parts of the plant (translocation)

4
New cards

phloem structure

living cells, sieve tube, companion cells

5
New cards

apoplast pathway

through the cell wall, least resistant

6
New cards

symplast pathway

through the cytoplasm

7
New cards

vacuolar pathway

through the vacuoles, most resistant

8
New cards

casparian strip

band of cell wall, impermeable to solutes (ions) so blocks apoplastic pathway, regulates entry and water loss.
