Sieve tube members are connected by

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sieve tube members are specialized cells in plants that form a part of the phloem tissue. They are connected to each other via plasmodesmata, small channels that traverse cell walls, allowing for the flow of nutrients and other substances. Tight junctions are found in animal cells, and are not relevant here. Companion cells are a type of specialized plant cell that aid in the transport of substances in the phloem, but they do not directly connect sieve tubes. Tracheids are a type of water-conducting cell found in xylem tissue, which is separate from phloem.
