Document Summary

29. 3: the stem; transport of water through xylem. Trees and other plants transport water without any direct expenditure of energy. Parenchyma cells are undifferentiated cells in the interior. The phloem transports carbohydrates from the leaves to the rest of the body. The xylem transports water from the roots to the rest of the body. Xylem provides a low-resistance pathway for the movement of water: The cell walls of xylem are thick and contain lignin. Lignin is a chemical compound that increases mechanical strength and also prevents water from passing through the cell wall. Water enters and exits the xylem through pits, circular regions where the lignified cell wall layer was not produced. Pits allow the passage of water and not air through one conduit to another. Vessels made up of many cells are called vessel elements. The rate that water moves through xylem depends on both the number of conduits and their size.
