What are the similarities between xylem and phloem?
xylem and phloem are both in plants, xylem are like he veins in a plant, they carry water to the top of the plant
Which goes up and which goes down the xylem or the phloem?
Both xylem and phloem are vascular tissues found in a plant. Xylem is a tubular structure which is responsible for water transport from the roots towards all of the parts of the plant. Phloem is also a tubular structure but is responsible for the transportation of food and other nutrients needed by plant. Xylem imports water and minerals while Phloem transports water and food. Xylem exists as non-living tissue at maturity, but phloem is living cells.
Tubes that carry water and minerals in plants?
Xylem and Phloem exist both in the Plant's roots and it's upper parts.
Does a peanut plant have a vascular system?
Of course it does as it is a vascular plant having both xylem and phloem vascular tissues.
Do Woody stems have both xylem and phloem tissues.?
Xylem and phloem are the two types of transport tissue found in vascular plants. Woody stems contain both xylem and phloem.
What are the different between xylem and phloem?
They are both types of vascular tissue in plants, but phloem moves food down the plant from the leaves to the roots, whereas xylem moves water from the roots up to the rest of the plant tissue.
Could you tell the difference between a xylem and a phloem in a plant just by looking at the direction in which substances move in these tissues?
No; they're both hidden in the vein, plus, the substances in each the xylem and phloem travel upward. The xylem carries water absorbed by the plant's roots up into the leaf, and the phloem carries the food made during photosynthesis upward throughout the plant;

Why does a plant need xylem and phloem?
The xylem tube transports the water and minerals to the top of the plant or tree like the General Sherman. The phloem tube transports sugar or sap to all the living cells that cannot make its own sugar.
Contrast the flow of materials in xylem and phloem?
Both are vascular tissues of the vascular plant. Xylem is dead, woody tissue mostly that transports water from the roots of the plant to the leaves. Phloem is vascular tissue that transports sugars manufactured by the plant to all the areas that need such sugars.
Why is xylem outside and the phloem inside?
Both xylem and phloem are hollow. The most hollow of the two would be xylem since that is the wood that is on the tree.
Is the xylem and phloem both located in the root?
They are constantly going up and down everywhere through the plant in tubes.
