Use a tabular format to compare and contrast the structure and function of xylem and phloem.
Xylem
The plant's vascular system, tasked with transporting water and nutrients from the roots throughout the plant.
Phloem
The vascular tissue in plants responsible for the transport of nutrients, specifically the sugars produced by photosynthesis, throughout the plant.
Structure
The arrangement or organization of parts to form an organism, system, or object, often determining its function.

Final Answer :
The table should include characteristics of vessel elements, tracheids, sieve tube elements, and companion cells from Table 33-3 on textbook page 717. Because xylem and phloem also contain parenchyma and sclerenchyma, your table should also include characteristics of those tissues as shown in Table 33-2 on textbook page 714.
