This diagram covers Comparing Xylem and Phloem within Plant Transport Systems for GCSE Biology. Xylem and phloem structure, water and sugar transport, root hair adaptations, translocation, and practical investigations It is section 7 of 18 in this topic. Focus on the labels, the relationships between parts, and the explanation that turns the diagram into an exam-ready answer.
Practice questions for Plant Transport Systems
Which substance does xylem tissue transport?
