generally called sieve elements; parenchyma cells‚ including both specialized companion cells or albuminous cells and unspecialized cells; and supportive cells‚ such as fibresand sclereids). Conducting cells (Sieve elements) Sieve elements are the group of cells that are responsible for actually moving sugar-laden fluids through the plant.At maturity they lack a nucleus and have very few organelles‚ so they rely on companion cells or albuminous cells for most of their metabolic needs.

called the stele. Xylem tissue has the dual functions of support and transport. It contains several different types of cells these are vessel elements‚ traceids‚ fibres and parenchyma cells. In contrast to this phloem tissue is living and comprises of sieve tubes‚ phloem parenchyma (also known as companion cells) and phloem fibres. In the xylem tissue the vessel elements and tracheids are the cells that are involved with the transport of water. Fibres are elongated with lignified walls that help to support

`Jump to: navigation‚ search A sieve analysis (or gradation test) is a practice or procedure used (commonly used in civil engineering) to assess the particle size distribution (also called gradation) of a granular material. The size distribution is often of critical importance to the way the material performs in use. A sieve analysis can be performed on any type of non-organic or organic granular materials including sands‚ crushed rock‚ clays‚ granite‚ feldspars‚ coal‚ soil‚ a wide range of manufactured

sample only. In determining the SSD and oven-dry weights needed for calculation of specific gravities‚ a conical mold was used to reach an SSD condition and the sample was later dried in an oven. Sieve analysis determined the particle size distribution by sifting the aggregate through a series of eight sieves of different sixes by use of a mechanical shaker. The results found are that the aggregate used has a Bulk Specific Gravity (SSD) of 2.552‚ which indicates a normal weight‚ and Absorption of

The dialysis tubings only permeable to water or particles which have smaller size than the pores of the tubing‚but impermeable to the larger solutes.As larger molecules such as proteins and polysaccharides(starch)

Available evidence suggests that tef grain separating and cleaning‚ in the rural area of Ethiopia‚ is very much traditional and makes use of wind as winnower to effect separation manually operated set of flat sieve to accomplish the cleaning. This method is time and labor consuming‚ and often lead to contamination of the tef grain with dust‚ dirt‚ small sands or silt on the threshing ground.

Compare and contrast xylem tissue and phloem tissue‚ including their respective structures and functions. The stems and roots of plants contain two separate transport systems; xylem vessels and phloem tubes‚ of which neither transport oxygen as it is transported to cells by diffusion. The network of xylem vessels transports water and mineral ions from the roots to all other parts of the plant whereas phloem tubes transport food made in the leaves to all other parts of the plant.
