Which structures in animals are similar to xylem and phloem in plants?

the xylem and phloem in a plant are used to transport food and water. in animals the water is used in the blood. foods animals eat are classified into carbohydrates , proteins & fats.acids in our stomach break down each of these into basic components. the broken down carbohydrates and proteins(amino acids) get transported via the blood vessels(arteries and veins) & fats (fatty acids & glycerol)
get transported through the lymph network

∙ 15y agothe xylem and phloem are to a plant what veins and arteries are to an animal

∙ 14y agoThey could probably be thought of as rough equivalents of the circulatory system (blood) and the digestive tract.

What are the tissues found in plants and animals?
Xylem and phloem are two cardiovascular tissues in plants. The two tissues aid in helping the plant to absorb water and move it through their structure.Xylem and phloem are twocardiovascular tissues in plants
Do flowers have xylem?
Flowering plants, or angiosperms, have a vascular system that consists of xylem and phloem tubes. The flowers themselves do have xylem tubes as well, since they require the water and nutrients that xylem brings from the soil. The xylem and phloem of plants are analogous to the blood vessels in animals. Xylem transports water and nutrients that the roots absorb from the soil. Phloem flows from the top of the plant to the roots, bringing the sugary products of photosynthesis to the rest of the plant and to storage structures (e.g. fruit, roots). In short, yes, flowers have xylem tubes.
Which is a vascular tissue in plants?
Phloem
What structures do vascular plants have for transporting sugar?
it is the phloem
What organ system in an animal has a similar function to the xylem and phloem of plants?
Xylem transports water up from the foots. Phloem carries food down from the leaves. The circulatory system in animals is the closest analogue.
What structures do non vascular plants have?
Roots, seeds and true xylem and phloem elements are absent in non-vascular plants.
What structures are found in plants but not animals?
The structures found in plants and not in animals are cell wall, chloroplasts and plastids.

What are the vascular structures in plants and animals?
cells

The first structures by which toxins enter plants growing in contaminated soils is the xylem.
What of these structures are found in plants but not animals?
The central vacuole
Is phloem in a plant or in an animal?
Phloem is found in plants.
Do Vascular plants have phloem?
Phloem as well as xylem
How man are destroying your plants and animals?
By building structures in animals wild habitats
Plants do not have a circulatory system like that of some animals if a given water molecule did circulate it would require A xylem B phloem C endodermis D xylem and endodermis E xylem and phloem?
E. xylem and phloem
