Summary Introduction
To explain: The mechanism involved in the active transport of sugar into sieve-tube elements or companion cells and represents the side that is present inside the cell.
Introduction: Vascular plants are defined as land plants and it is otherwise referred to as tracheophytes. It forms a large plant group. The land plants have xylem which is lignified tissues that conduct minerals and water to all parts of the plant. The phloem, which is specialized non-lignified tissue, is also present in the vascular plant. The major function of phloem is to conduct the photosynthesis process.

Indicate the chemical structure and key properties of the following cell wall materials:hemicellulose cellulosepectin ligninsuberin tanninsIn which plant cell types are they present?Any commercial use of these substances?
What is the membrane potential? Is the outside of theplasma membrane positively or negatively chargedcompared with the inside?
Cell motility has been described as being like the motion of tank treads. At the leading edge, actin filaments form rapidly into bundles and networks that make protrusions and move the cell forward. At the rear, cell adhesions are broken and the tail end of the cell is brought forward. What provides the traction for moving cells? How does cell-body translocation happen? How are cell adhesions released as cells move forward?
