Vessel elements are the individual cells that make up the vessel. Vessel elements are in the xylem and are dead when functioning. They function to carry water and minerals upward in the stem and root.

What is xylem composed of?
vessel elements, tracheids, fibres, and parenchyma
What are cells that transport water and minerals from roots to shoots in plants are called?
It's called the xylem. The phloem takes sugar (food) down from the leaves.
What is xylem vessel?
xylem vessel is a vessel in plants that transport water and minerals from the roots to parts of the plant where it is needed, through transpiration and turgor pressure in roots.
What is a group of xylem cells called?
Vascular tissue
In angiosperms xylem consists of tracheids and?
vessel elements
Why it is called as xylem vessel but not xylem cell?
Because xylem is a vessel that water travels through.
What is xylem composed of?
vessel elements, tracheids, fibres, and parenchyma
Cells that are the main water-conducting cells of a plant are?
tracheids and vessel members, also known as "Xylem tubes"
What are the similarities between xylem vessels and xylem fibers?
Fibre long and thin, vessel short and thick, fibre offers a structural support, xylem vessel transports water, both are dead cells both consist of strength offered lignin
Where are xylem cells found in the human body?
xylem cells are present in the plant coducting tissue called xylem. they aren't in human body anywhere.
What is the group of xylem cells called?
The Penis
What are cells that move water in plants called?
Xylem
What are cells that transport water and minerals from roots to shoots in plants are called?
It's called the xylem. The phloem takes sugar (food) down from the leaves.
What tissue moves water up from plants roots?
The tissue responsible for moving water up from the plant roots is called xylem. Xylem consists of specialized cells called tracheids and vessel elements that form a network of interconnected tubes. These tubes allow water to be transported upwards through the plant, from the roots to the leaves.
What is xylem vessel?
xylem vessel is a vessel in plants that transport water and minerals from the roots to parts of the plant where it is needed, through transpiration and turgor pressure in roots.
A layer of cells that makes xylem and phloem is called?
CAMBIUM
New xylem and phloem cells are formed from a layer of cells called what?
vascular cambium
