No ATP needed. Cohesion-Tension that transports the water from the roots to the leaves does not need to consume ATP because the vessels and tracheids are non-living.

Is heartwood made of dead xylem tissue?
Yes
What are Dead and live tissue of xylem and phloem?
in xylem all the cells R dead IN PHLOEM EXCEPT PHLOEM FIBRES ALL R LIVING CELLS
In plants vascular tissue made of dead cells that transport water and minerals from its roots is called?
Generally in trees, the central wood and the bark consist of dead cells.
What tissue is responsible for forming secondary xylem and phloem in terrestrial perennial plants?
Xylem is part of the vascular tissue of plants, and the xylem and phloem together are grouped together as the stele (latin for 'pillar'). Xylem tissue is encased in lignin, the substance that creates the strength of wood, causing the protoplasm (living part of the cell) to die, and therefore be dead tissue; phloem is living tissue.
What tissue transports water through a plant?
Xylem cells are responsible for supplying water to all parts of the plant. They make up the xylem tube which transports water, but then they die. So the xylem tube which is made up of dead xylem cells is responsible for transport of water in the plant.
Is mature phloem tissue dead upon maturity?
No, they are usually living. It is the xylem tissue that is made mostly of dead cells.
What vascular tissue is made of dead cells?
xylem
Is heartwood made of dead xylem tissue?
Yes
Why would phloem be better than xylem for a tissue cuture experiment?
Yes, phloem is living tissue, xylem tends to be woody and dead.

What does the tissue form?
Xylem is part of the vascular tissue of plants, and the xylem and phloem together are grouped together as the stele (latin for 'pillar'). Xylem tissue is encased in lignin, the substance that creates the strength of wood, causing the protoplasm (living part of the cell) to die, and therefore be dead tissue; phloem is living tissue.
Growth tissue between xylem and phloem that produces additional xylem and phloem cells?
The dark center of a stem or root that is dead
What is a woody tissue of a plant?
Xylem
What tissues is found in the veins of the plants?
Xylem and phloem, they are two types of vascular tissue.
How many types of elements together make up the xylem tissue?
In Angiosperms , it is xylem vessels ( proto and meta xylem together ) , Xylem sclerenchyma and xylem parenchyma ; together form Xylem tissue ( That is why xylem is called a compound tissue ). In Gymnosperms , xylem vessels are replaced by Xylem tracheids . All other tings are almost the same .
