what do the xylem and phloem do?
82263
Xylem and phloem. Plants have tissues to transport water, nutrients and minerals. Xylem transports water and mineral salts from the roots up to other parts of the plant, while phloem transports sucrose and amino acids between the leaves and other parts of the plant.

Xylem and phloem. The xylem and the phloem make up the vascular tissue of a plant and transports water, sugars, and other important substances around a plant. ... One xylem and one phloem are known as a 'vascular bundle' and most plants have multiple vascular bundles running the length of their leaves, stems, and roots.

B. xylem carries water and nutrients up to plant's leaves,while phloem divides to make more xylem cells as the plant grows. ... xylem carries food up to the plant's leaves, while phloem carries water down from the plant's leaves to its roots.

The phloem is the outer layer, and is sometimes referred to as the inner bark. It is a food conducting tissue. The xylem is located toward the inside of the cambium layer. The xylem is the vascular tissue through which most of the water and minerals of the tree are conducted.

Similarities between Xylem and Phloem Ø Both xylem and phloem are complex tissue composed of more than one type of cells. Ø Both are the components of vascular tissue system of plants. Ø Both contain living and dead cells.

The xylem and phloem are arranged in clusters called vascular bundles. They have a specific arrangement, which is slightly different in the roots to the stems. The xylem are made up of dead cells containing lignin - a woody material that makes the walls thick and stiff.

Xylem and Phloem are two different types of vascular tissues which are mainly involved in the transportation process. These tissues form a vascular bundle and these work together as a unit. The movement of xylem is unidirectional, while, the movement of phloem is bidirectional.

Unlike xylem (which is composed primarily of dead cells), the phloem is composed of still-living cells that transport sap. The sap is a water-based solution, but rich in sugars made by photosynthesis.

Pholem is responsible for transporting sugar, proteins and other organic molecules in plants. Vascular plants are able to grow higher than other plants due to rigidity of xylem cells, which support the plant. That's why xylem and pholem are called vascular tissue.

Xylem tissue helps in the transport of water and minerals. Phloem tissue helps in the transport of food. ... Transport in xylem occurs with the help of simple physical forces such as transpiration pull. Transport of food in phloem requires energy in the form of ATP.

Xylem transports and stores water and water-soluble nutrients in vascular plants. Phloem is responsible for transporting sugars, proteins, and other organic molecules in plants. Vascular plants are able to grow higher than other plants due to the rigidity of xylem cells, which support the plant.

INTRODUCTION:Xylem and pholem together form the vascularbundles. ... 3)Xylem gives mechanical strength to the plant. 4)Conduction of water by xylem is unidirectional i.e., from roots to apical parts of the plant. PHLOEM:1)It transport food material from the leaves to growing parts of the plants.

Xylem is found in the center of the vascular bundle, deep in the plant and made up of xylem vessels, fiber, and tracheids, whereas phloem is found on the outer side of the vascular bundle and made up of phloem fibers, sieve tubes, sieve cells, phloem parenchyma and companion cells.

Xylem cells The xylem is specialised to transport water up the stem of a plant and into the leaves. Xylem vessels are made up of a series of connected dead xylem cells. The end walls of the dead cells are broken to allow water to move through. A substance called lignin strengthens the cell walls of xylem cells.

Xylem. The xylem transports water and minerals from the roots up the plant stem and into the leaves. In a mature flowering plant or tree, most of the cells that make up the xylem are specialised cells called vessels. ... The cells are no longer alive.

Phloem and xylem are complex tissues that perform transportation of food and water in a plant. They are the vascular tissues of the plant and together form vascular bundles. They work together as a unit to bring about effective transportation of food, nutrients, minerals and water.

Xylem is a water-conducting tissue in plants. It transports water from the roots to the different parts of the plant. If the xylem of the plant is removed, upward movement of water will stop leading to wilting of leaves and ultimately causes the death of a plant.
