[Music] there are many plants that are considered vascular with veins running through em called the xylem and the phloem the xylem is for the flow of minerals and h2o the flow and transport sugars so food gets to where it's meant to go [Music] the xylem pulls the water high up so plants can transpire moving minerals up the stem and also hydrating them the xylem is for the flow of minerals and h2o the phloem transports sugars so food gets to where it's meant to go xylem and phloem are simply names of types of different tissues in the plant that can serve as pipes [Music] the green leaves of plants produce sugars that are put to use by plant cells thanks to the phloem that conducts the sugars to um the xylem is for the flow of minerals and h2o the flow and transport sugars so food gets to where it's meant to go xylem and phloem are simply names of types of different tissues in the plant that can serve as pipes the xylem is for the flow of minerals and h2o the phloem transports sugars so food gets to where it's meant to go the xylem is for the flow of minerals and h2o the flow and transport sugars so food gets to where it's meant to go [Music] you
