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.
What is a tubular cell that transports water throughout the plant?
Xylem vessel
Do xylem cells undergo cell division?
No, xylem cells are "dead" cells and therefore do not undergo cell division.
What cells are found on roots?
Root hairs are long tubular out growths made of root epidermis cells that form to increase the root surface. Root hair development consists of root hair initiation and tip growth.
Are xylem cells red or blue?
xylem cells are *~!BLUE!~* because of the presence of lignin

Which plant cells function in providing support and are dead at maturity?
Sclerenchyma cell
Is mature phloem tissue dead upon maturity?
No, they are usually living. It is the xylem tissue that is made mostly of dead cells.
Are phloem and xylem tubular structures?
yes
What is a tubular cell that transports water throughout the plant?
Xylem vessel
Do xylem cells have to be alive to do their job?
Xylem cells are not living plant cells. They die so that they can form the thin tubes that conduct water upward via capillary action.
Do xylem cells undergo cell division?
No, xylem cells are "dead" cells and therefore do not undergo cell division.
What cells are found on roots?
Root hairs are long tubular out growths made of root epidermis cells that form to increase the root surface. Root hair development consists of root hair initiation and tip growth.
Where is xylem found in the body?
Xylem cells are in plants not animals.
What is a sentence for xylem?
Xylem cells are found in vascular plants.
Where are xylem cells found in the human body?
xylem cells are present in the plant coducting tissue called xylem. they aren't in human body anywhere.
Are xylem cells red or blue?
xylem cells are *~!BLUE!~* because of the presence of lignin
