What are the importance of sapwood?

it conducts water from the roots underground to the leaves in the branches. Not only does it conduct water throughout the tree, but it is also responsible for storing water and rationing out the stored water during dry spells


Is a xylem cell a plant or human cell?

Its part of a plant cell, a tube that carries energy.-----------------A Xylem cell is a plant cell. The xylem is the woody part of the tree. It is all of the cells between the pith in the center out to the cambium. The xylem consists of the sapwood and the heartwood. There is no one cell called a "xylem cell". Any cell in the xylem portion of the tree could be called a xylem cell.The vessels and/or tracheids in the outer few growth rings in the sapwood carries sap or water (with dissolved minerals) up to the leaves. The inner bark cells carry the food made by the leaves down the tree for use and for storage. The ray cells transport the food radially into the tree for growth. Also the rays cells can transport stored food radially outward in times of shortages or special needs. (like repairing damage by weather or disease or insects or animals, etc.)Phloem

What food chain or food web does the kowhai tree fit into?

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing; Sun/soil/water/rotting organisms --> Kowhai tree --> Tui --> Stoat/cat - A tui drinks the nectar of the kowhai tree. Hope this helps :)


Why should plants to be grouped?

Nonvascular - don't have tissue to carry food and water to the rest of the plant i.e mosses vascular - have tissue that carry water and food i.e redwood tree

How does the function of xylem relate to photosynthesis?

It doesn't really... not directly. Photosynthesis is the process of turning sunlight energy and carbon dioxide into glucose and water. The xylem are structures in plants assisting the transport of nutrients and water.

What carries water and dissolved nutrients from the roots to the leaves?

Xylem carries water and mineral nutrient ions from the roots up into the tree. Phloem carries sucrose, the "food" made as a result of photosynthesis, throughout the plant.


What would happen if a trees bark were stripped away?

If a layer of bark is removed with the inner cambium layer from the entire circumference of a tree, the tree will die. If the xylem or phloem of the tree is interrupted, food and water cannot travel through the tree from the roots up. The inner core of a tree, or heartwood, is actually dead tissue and does not transport anything.


Which part of the tree absorbs water and nuitrane?

well the simple answer would be the root and root hairs that take in the water and nutrient, but more specifically it is the Xylem to the tree that transports water and nutrient throughout the organism.
