    This document discusses plant nutrition and transport. It defines key terms and describes the structure of organs and tissues involved in transporting nutrients throughout plants. Specifically, it notes that in monocotyledon roots the stele is large and xylem vessels form a radiating circle around the central pith, while in dicotyledon roots the stele is small and xylem is central with phloem surrounding. In monocotyledon stems, vascular bundles are scattered while in dicotyledons they form a ring around the pith with phloem externally and xylem internally.

    MODULE 1A.

    Plant Nutrition and Transport


    • define plant nutrition and transport
    • describe the structure of organs and tissues involved in plant
    transport
    • illustrate pathways of nutrients throughout plants
    VASCULAR BUNDLE IN ROOTS
    In monocotyledons, the stele is large and vessels will form a radiating circle around the central pith
    • Xylem vessels will be located more internally and phloem vessels will be located more externally
    In dicotyledons, the stele is very small and the xylem is located centrally with the phloem surrounding it
    • Xylem vessels may form a cross-like shape (‘X’ for xylem), while the phloem is situated in the surrounding gaps
    VASCULAR BUNDLE IN STEM
    In monocotyledons, the vascular bundles are found in a scattered arrangement throughout the stem
    • Phloem vessels will be positioned externally (towards outside of stem) – remember: phloem = outside
    In dicotyledons, the vascular bundles are arranged in a circle around the centre of the stem (pith)
    • Phloem and xylem vessels will be separated by the cambium (xylem on inside ; phloem on outside)
