It is not a cell. It is a plant tissue which conducts water

Does xylem cell has cell membrane?

No, xylem cells do not have cell membranes. Xylem cells are part of the plant's vascular system and are dead at maturity, so they lack cell membranes. Instead, xylem cells are composed primarily of cell walls that provide structural support and allow for the transport of water and minerals.


What does a xylem cell do?

Do xylem cells undergo cell division?

No, xylem cells are "dead" cells and therefore do not undergo cell division.


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 plant cell transports water and nutrients?

xylem


Why it is called as xylem vessel but not xylem cell?

Xylem vessel is made up of a series of connected xylem cells that are dead at maturity. These cells form a long tube-like structure that functions in transporting water and minerals throughout the plant. The term "xylem vessel" reflects the continuous nature of the structure, which is more than just a single cell.


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.


Xylem tubes are rigid because they include this chemical NOT found in phloem in their cell walls?

Xylem cells are strengthened by a substance called lignin. This strengthening is necessary because as water is pulled through the xylem it creates a pull on the cell walls which would cause the xylem to collapse, just like a paper straw collapses if it gets too wet.
