What else can I help you with?
What tissue carries material from a plant roots to it leaves?
Phloem and xylem tissue carries material from a plant's roots to its leaves.
Where are xylem cells that no longer conduct water found?
Non-conducting xylem cells are found in the heartwood of trees. As a tree ages, the inner layers of xylem cells lose their ability to conduct water and become filled with resins, gums, and other substances that help provide structural support to the tree.
The lighter wood in a tree trunk containing xylem cells that conduct water?
sapwood
What is the job of a xylem vessels?
To conduct water
How is an xylem defferent from phloem?
Quite different in structure and function. The xylem, which is dead material, carries water from the roots to the leaves. The phloem, which is living material, carries synthesized sugars from the leaves to where they are needed in the plant.
Sap rises through what plant material?
Sap rises through the xylem of the plant. The xylem is one of the two transportation materials in a plant.
What is the general responsibility of xylem and phloem in plants?
Xylem is responsible for conduction of water and minerals and phloem is responsible for conduction of food material in the plants.
Darker wood in the center of a tree trunk which contains xylem cells that no longer conduct water?
heartwood
What is the tissue responsible for transporting water and minerals from the root to the stem and leaves?
The tissue responsible for transporting water and minerals from the root to the stem and leaves is called xylem. Xylem is a type of vascular tissue that consists of specialized cells that form vessels for conducting water and nutrients.
What happeneds to xylem when it dries up and dies?
When xylem dries up and dies, it loses its ability to conduct water and nutrients up the plant. The dead xylem cells become hollow and help provide structural support for the plant. Over time, these dead xylem cells can form the woody tissue in trees and shrubs.
What tissue carries material from a plants roots its leaves?
Xylem tissue carries material from a plant's roots to it's leaves
What structures conduct materials in a leaf?
The veins and xylem/phloem tissues conduct materials in a leaf. Veins provide a network for the transport of water, minerals, and sugars, while Xylem carries water and minerals from the roots to the leaves, and Phloem transports sugars produced during photosynthesis to other parts of the plant.
