Are phloem cells alive?
Yes, Phloem cells are alive.
What are Phloem cells?
Phloem cells are living vascular cells that carries sugar and organic substances throughout a plant.
What is the difference between the cells that compose xylem and phloem tissue?
the cells of phloem are the only ones with cytoplasm
What are Dead and live tissue of xylem and phloem?
in xylem all the cells R dead IN PHLOEM EXCEPT PHLOEM FIBRES ALL R LIVING CELLS
Which structures make up phloem?
Phloem tissue consists of: conducting cells, generally called sieve elements; parenchyma cells, including both specialized companion cells or albuminous cells and unspecialized cells; and supportive cells, such as fibres and sclereids.(attribution: wikipedia, Phloem)
What are constituents of phloem?
i) Sieve tubes (ii) Companion cells (iii) Phloem parenchyma (iv) Phloem fibres
What are the constituents of phloem?
i) Sieve tubes (ii) Companion cells (iii) Phloem parenchyma (iv) Phloem fibres
What are the xylem and phloem are separated by?
A layer of cambium cells separates the xylem and phloem tubes.
What would happen to a plant without functional phloem cells?
The plant would wilt and die as it would not be able to receive water from the roots. For this reason cut flowers are placed in water to extend their life. If a vascular plant is subjected to cut its phloem in the stem region (leaving its xylem tissue intact), this plant will die of starvation because transportation of water and menerals is done by xylem and phloem transports the prepared food material to different plant parts. In a situation where phloem is dis-connected to the roots, the food supply to the roots will be stopped. Thus roots in the absence of nourishment will not be able to absorb water and minerals and the plant will die ultimately.
What is the name of the tissue that contains seive tubes?
Parenchyma cells in "phloem tissue"
What is a sieve phloem?
The cells having sieve like perforations in their cell walls present in phloem are the sieve tubes of the phloem.
The cells in a phloem tube are connected end to?
phloem cells are connected end to end. So each one is connected to the other.
