What is a xylem and a phloem?

Answer 1

Xylem and phloem are the two types of vascular tissues found in plants.

Xylem tissues transport water from the roots throughout the plant, while phloem transports food (sugars) from photosysnthesis throughout the plant.
Xylem: tubes that brings water and minerals from the roots into the leaf.

Phloem: tubes that usually move sap, with dissolved sucrose, produced by photosynthesis in the leaf, out of the leaf and to other parts of the plant.
Both are found in the central vascular bundle. Basically, xylem tranports water and phloem transports organic substances.

Xylem is a tissue found in vascular plants that transorts water and dissolved mineral nutrients. It consists of hollow vessels that are formed from cells joined end to end in flowering plants. The end walls of the vessel elements are perforated this allows the passage of water. The walls of the xylem cells are thickened with lignin, this strengthens the walls and also makes them waterproof. Xylem contributes greatly to the mechanical strength of the plant: wood is mostly made up of secondary xylem.

Phloem is a tissue that conducts food materials in vascular plants from regions where they are produced (notably the leaves) to regions, such as growing points, where they are needed. It consists of hollow tubes that run parallel to the plant organ and are formed from elongated cells joined end to end and closely associated with companion cells.

Answer 2

A xylem is a woodly tissue of vascular plants that transports water and dissolve materials while the phloem is a vascular plant tissue external to the xylem that carries dissolved food materials.

Answer 3

Xylem is a type of vascular tissue in plants that transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. Phloem is another type of vascular tissue that transports sugars and organic compounds produced during photosynthesis throughout the plant. Together, xylem and phloem make up the plant's vascular system.

Answer 4

xylem transports waters and minerals upward only

Phloem transports organic materials, such as sugars

Answer 5

Phloem are food tubes that take food up to create energy and xylem is for water

Answer 6

by water and materials thanks bye
