The cells that make up the phloem are adapted to their function: ... Each sieve tube has a perforated end so its cytoplasm connects one cell to the next. Companion cells - transport of substances in the phloem requires energy. One or more companion cells attached to each sieve tube provide this energy.
How are the xylem and phloem adapted for their function?
The cells that make up the xylem are adapted to their function: They lose their end walls so the xylem forms a continuous, hollow tube. They become strengthened by a substance called lignin . Lignin gives strength and support to the plant.
What is the function of the phloem?
