Transport in Human and plants                  

Human Transport System:                             


  • In human being transport system is composed of heart, arteries, veins, and the blood. This system is termed as Circulatory System.
  • Heart is covered by a tough double membrane called pericardium.
  • Heart is composed of cardiac muscles which keep on working day and night.
  • Heart consists of four chambers; two auricles and two ventricles.
  • The fluid part of the blood is called plasma.
  • Plasma has two types of cell. 1) Red blood cell   2) White blood cell
  • Red blood cell (RBC) contains a red pigment called hemoglobin.
  • Hemoglobin bind with oxygen and transport it to all the parts of the body and ultimately to the cell. The presence of hemoglobin makes blood appear red.
  • White blood cell (WBC) fight against germs that may enter our body.
  • Arteries: Blood distributed to different body parts by the heart.
  • The largest artery is known as the aorta.
  • Veins: Blood collected and transported back to the heart.
  • The largest vein is called vena cava.
  • The Human being have average 72 heart beats per minutes.
  • Working of Heart:

  • The right atrium receives the deoxygenated blood through superior vena cave from the whole body.
  • From the right atrium the blood is forced to right ventricle through tricuspid valve.
  • Right ventricle pumped the deoxygenated blood to the lung through pulmonary arteries.
  • After oxygenation the blood comes back to left atrium through four pulmonary veins.
  • After the left atrium oxygenated blood come into the left ventricle.
  • On contraction the oxygenated blood from left ventricle is pushed with full force in to aorta which distributes it to whole body.
  • Oxygenated blood is bright red in color.
  • Deoxygenated blood is bluish in color.

Transport in Plants


  • Plants to possess a transport system which is comprised of roots, stem and leaves. There is a network of conducting tissues which comprises of xylem and phloem.
  • Algae have no need for transport because it’s all cell is directly absorbed mineral salts and oxygen from water.
  • The first root which grows from the radical of an embryo is called primary root.
  • The branches of primary roots are called secondary roots.
  • Those roots which grow from secondary roots are called tertiary roots.
  • Plants need CO2 gas for photosynthesis.
  • Plants need oxygen gas for respiration.
  • Phloem worked of the transportation of food in the all cell of plants.
  • Xylem worked of the transportation of water in the all cell of plants.
  • Plants need oxygen to respire and CO2 to prepare food. For this purpose the underside of leaves bear small openings called stomata.
