How does lignin help xylem vessels to carry out their function?
Lignin is a type of polymer found in the cell walls of plant cells that provides support and structure for the plant- it makes them rigid.
Which functional group would lignin naturally fall into?
Lignin would fall into the functional group OH.
What is a lignin in the plants?
lignin hardened vascular tissues to transport water and nutrients
What are the components of wood?
cellulose ,lignin
What does acdified phloroglucinol stain?
Acidified phloroglucinol is used as a stain for the detection of lignin. If lignin is present, it will turn a bright red colour.

Lignin is a type of polymer found in the cell walls of plant cells that provides support and structure for the plant- it makes them rigid.
What are the walls of xylem reinforced with?
The walls of xylem are reinforced with a substance called lignin. Lignin is a complex non-carbohydrate substance found along with cellulose. Lignin reinforces the walls of the xylem to provide rigidity and support and helps to keep the vessels open for water flow.
What are the only organisms that can be decomposed by fungi?
lignin
Which carbohydrates found in cell wall of plants?
Main carbohydrate is cellulose.Otherthan it,hemicellulose,pectine,lignin can be seen.
Which structure is found in a angiosperms but not gymnosperms?
Embyrosac is found in Angiosperms but not in gymnosperms.
If phyloroglucin contains lignin?
One of the things that phyloroglucin contains is lignin.
What is the source of lignin in soil?
The source of lignin in the soil is dead plants.
Why is it surprising to find lignin in aquatic plants?
Lignin is a biopolymer that gives support to vascular plants, and is thought to have evolved after aquatic plants took on land. many aquatic plants produce lignin or lignin-like polyphenols however. There is still debate on distinguishing terrestrial from aquatic plant lignin.
What has the author Franciska Sundholm written?
Franciska Sundholm has written: 'EPR studies of compounds related to lignin' -- subject(s): Lignin, Electron paramagnetic resonance 'Syntheses of lignin model compounds and assignment of their infra-red spectra' -- subject(s): Lignin
Which functional group would lignin naturally fall into?
Lignin would fall into the functional group OH.
What are the example of stuctural polyssacharides?
Structural polysaccharides are the polysaccharides that are found to form the structure of an organism. Eg. Cellulose - in plants Chitin - found in outer skeleton of insects and crabs Lignin - wood
What is a lignin in the plants?
