How do nutrients get from soil to xylem?

roots hold a plant in place of the soil. like roots ,stems have vascular tissue. this helps support plants .the xylem and phloem in stems connect to those same tissues in the roots .together, the move food for the plant between roots and leaves.


What is the internal system of interconnected tubes and vessels called in some terrestrial plants?

any plant tissue with water conducting cells which cause the hardening of plants.These cells are also involved in transporting other solutes from one part of the plant to another. for example the xylem which conducts water and ions and the phloem which conducts sugars .


Is a tree limb breaking a chemical or physical change?

It is a physical change: the wood (mostly cellulose) is not changed by the breaking. However, the living cells (if any) in the branch will begin to change chemically when exposed to the air and cut off from the xylem and phloem in the rest of the tree. Eventually the cells will die and the wood will rot (chemical changes).


How does nitrogen move from the soil into the xylem?

Nitrogen is carried from soil into the xylem of plants. Without water plants cannot get nitrogen and other nutrients from the soil. Therefore water carries out more than one function to aid in the growth of plants.


How does the molecular structure of water and the concept of hydrogen bonding relate to transpiration pull?

Water is a polar molecule, meaning that the H atoms are slightly negative and the O atom is slightly positive. Due to the polarity of the H2O molecule, it is possible for the water in the xylem to form a long continuous chain (the water molecules are essentially attracted to one another). Therefore, when water diffuses out of the xylem at the top of the stem, it 'pulls' the chain of water up the xylem.

What are the two different types of vascular tissue?

Phloem and xylem are the two main types of vascular tissue found in plants. Xylem is the tissue that mainly carries water, and a few minerals, in the system. Phloem is the tissue that carries photosynthetic materials through the plant.


Differences between plant xylem and phloem and fruit xylem and phloem?

Are auxins transported in xylem or phloem?

Auxins are transported in the phloem, not the xylem.


What are the two vascular tissues found in the root and stem systems?

Xylem and Phloem Xylem-transports water from the roots Phloem-transports food from the process of photosynthesis through other parts of the plant


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.


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 two things does the vascular system in plants transport to cells in the leaf?

I believe that would be xylem and phloem.


Are xylem and phloem tissues?

yes, xylem and phloem are tissues in the vascular system


What fibers surround the xylem and phloem tissues?

The xylem and the phloem tissues are found in plants. Bast fibers surround the xylem and the phloem tissues in plants.


What brings food and water to your cells?

.food is carried by phloem and water is carried by xylem.
