Xylem, phloem, arteries and veins are all specialized transport systems that serve a unique but similar function in their respective organisms. Arteries and veins make up the circulatory system of many animals and are the primary mechanism for transporting nutrients and vital compounds throughout a living organism. The arteries are specialized in the transport of oxygenated blood away from the heart while veins return blood without their oxygen back to the heart to restore the cycle. Along the way, various compounds are dropped off and picked up at various cells.
While arteries and veins are an all encompassing system for transporting anything, xylem and phloem are even more specialized to only work in transporting certain materials. Phloem is specialized in the transport of nutrients, particularly sugar, throughout a vascular plant, while xylem is almost exclusively for water. Wheres arteries and veins require the pumping of a heart to flow, xylem and phloem depend on basic physical principles. Phloem utilizes the change in concentration between sources of nutrients and sites in need of nutrients to literally draw the nutrients where they are needed. Likewise, xylem depends on osmosis and a difference in pressure at the roots and the leaves to draw water up and through the plant.
The vascular tissue called the phloem.
Ferns are vascular plants. Vascular plants are non-seeded plants meaning you do not have to plant a seed for them to grow. Ferns grow by air borne spores. Ferns also can be kept in a drier climate due to them being vascular. There aren't similarities between vasucular and non vascular plants.
a) xylem and phloem b) cambrium and epidermis c) chloroplasts and guard cells d) palisade and spongy layers ?
CAMBIUM
a difference in osmotic water potential between the source and the sink
Vascular means pertaining to vessels which transport fluids (whether in plants or animals). In plants, phloem and xylem are vessels that carry water and food through the plant. In animals, arteries and veins carries blood
Vascular plants. Xylem and Phloem are the vascular system of plants. If you compare it with humans, they're the blood vessels...sort of Xylem transports water, Phloem transports nutrients
its vascular
Phloem
No. Xylem and phloem are belonging to vascular plants only. Bryophytae are not vascular, and do not have these.
Phloem as well as xylem
The xylem and phloem tube is called the Vascular Bundle.
i think it is vascular cambium layer............ :)
A plant's Vascular is made up of Phloem............
Daisies are vascular because of the xylem and phloem
Phloem
No, bryophytes are classified as NON-vascular plants. Both xylem and phloem are vascular tissues.
