ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:
Teach translocation of sucrose in the phloem in a new way!
Our colorful and interactive model shows how sucrose is transported within a plant.
Your students make the specialized plant cells then use them to make a stem. They can then follow how sucrose made by photosynthetic cells (source) is moved by phloem sieve-element cells and transported through the stem to root cells (sink). Students can use the model the pressure-flow hypothesis.
Covers: phloem structure, companion cells, source and sink, pressure-flow hypothesis, plant cell specialization.
Origami Organelles are downloadable paper models that you print and make as many times as you like! When you purchase a model, you are licensed for unlimited use on a single site or campus.
