The rate of flow of water through the xylem is regulated by?
the stomata in the leaves. When the stomata open, water is able to evaporate from the leaves, creating a pressure gradient that allows water to be pulled up through the xylem. When the stomata close, this flow of water is reduced or stopped.
Water and minerals flow up through the?
Tracheids and vessels of xylem
What is a specialized tissue in a plant that allows for the flow of water?
xylem
How do leaf cells obtain their water supply?
the roots make the water flow up from the ground through the xylem.
Where does the xylem tube carry water too?
The xylem tube carries the water from the roots to all parts of the plant, from bottom to top.This works because1 the water evaporates out of the leaves and so the water pressure causes the water to flow upwards.2 if the other parts of the plant have a lower concentration of water in them, the water will flow into them through osmosis. (water flowing from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane like the plant cells.)The phloem carries food from the leaves (and other food producing parts of the plant) to the rest of the plant, from top to bottom.

What is xylem flow in plants?
Xylem transports water throughout the plant.
Why do xylem vessels have pits etc?
Pits are essentially holes in the xylem walls. Xylem walls are lignified by lignin, a material impermeable to war. The pits allow water to flow between xylem vessels of the plant - this is known as cross flow.
What is the function of xylem cell?
Xylem is a type of cell that distributes water throughout a plant. They have specialized cells that help water flow up a plant, to get where it is needed.
Water and minerals flow up through the?
Tracheids and vessels of xylem
What direction does the xylem transport water?
The flow is from the roots to the plant so the flow goes up.
How can water flow up the xylem tube while gravity is pulling it down?
adhesion, the water molecules are attracted and therefore "climb" the xylem walls
Which is a specialize tissue in a plant that allows for the flow of water throughout the plant?
xylem
Where in the plant does water flow through?
Xylem tubes of vascular bundles of stems. :)
What is a specialized tissue in a plant that allows for the flow of water?
xylem
Is the mass flow of water in the xylem or the evaporation of water vapour from the surface of leaves part of the process of transpiration?
The evaporation of water from the porous surface of the leaves is part of transpiration. The water in the xylem is not. The xylem and its neighboring counter part move water throughout the plant in order for it to preform photosynthesis.
What are the two things that you know are always true about flowing water?
Flowing Water always flow downwards, and is always wet
