What part of a plant is similar to the arteries and veins?
The xylem and phloem because it transports materials.
How are veins and arteries like xylem and phloem in plants?
They are not very similar at all! The phloem vessels are most similar because the are alive and the run all the up and down the plant transporting substances other than water. The xylem vessels are really not very similar as they are lignafied (and therefore dead) they are woody and transport water from the roots. The arteries are probably most similar as they do not transport blood under high pressure, like the veins.
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
What is xylem and ploem in the flower?
It's in the stems not the flowers. Xylem and phloem are the pipes in a plant through which nutrients and water travel. Similar to the arteries and veins of a human. The xylem tubes are the pipes through which water and minerals travel from the roots up to every other part of the plant. The phloem are the pipes through which the food (glucose) travels from the leaves to every other part of the plant.
What is called the food conducting tissue of a plant?
phloem

Which components of a geranium plant have functions similar to those of the arteries and veins of humans?
a) xylem and phloem b) cambrium and epidermis c) chloroplasts and guard cells d) palisade and spongy layers ?
How do vascular plants' xylem and phloem compare to an animals' arteries and veins?
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.

To what part of the human circulatory system are xylem and phloem most similar?
Xylem and phloem are the same because they transport materials through out the plant.
What part of the human circulatory system and the xylem and phloem most similar?
Xylem and phloem are the same because they transport materials through out the plant.
Are Capillaries and arteries are similar in size?
Capillaries are alot smaller than arteries.
Are capillaries and arteries similar in size?
No. Arteries are the largest blood vessels and capillaries are the smallest.
