What is a tubular cell that transports water throughout the plant?
Xylem vessel
What substance makes up the cell walls of xylem vessel?
Not sure
What mature xylem vessels in a woody plant has?
Xylem vessel is basically for transporting water, if the cells had other parts in it (like cytoplasm, and etc), the vessel will not be able to support itself and will not be strong enough to carry water. Therefore a mature Xylem vessel must not have any other parts of the cells other than the cell wall. Basically a cell without its other part is a dead cell. So the Mature xylem vessel is a dead tissue which is enhanced with thick lignified cellulose walls, to support or give extra strength to the vessels. To summarize it, the Mature Xylem Vessel in a woody plant has only a cell wall, long hollow vessels with thick lignified cellulose walls, which are dead tissues used to transporting water from the roots to all parts of the plant.
Vessel that transports water and minerals?
blood vessles
Which plant cell has no nucleus when fully developed?
The xylem cells or vessel doesn't have a nucleus. It used to be an ordinary cell but it got filled with lignin (which is waterproof) So the contents of the cell died and it became hallow and dead I hope this answers your question
What is the difference between xylem vessel and root hair cell?
a xylem vessel is a part of a plant and a root hair cell is a root of the plant
What is a tubular cell that transports water throughout the plant?
Xylem vessel
What substance makes up the cell walls of xylem vessel?
Not sure
Stacked end to end these xylem cells form a tube called a vessel?
Vessel elements are the individual cells that make up the vessel. Vessel elements are in the xylem and are dead when functioning. They function to carry water and minerals upward in the stem and root.
Which cell organelle provide turgidity and rigidity to a plant cell?
xylem vessel provides turgidity while phloem vessel provides rigidity in the presence of water.

What is xylem vessel?
xylem vessel is a vessel in plants that transport water and minerals from the roots to parts of the plant where it is needed, through transpiration and turgor pressure in roots.
In angiosperms xylem consists of tracheids and?
vessel elements
What is a xylem vessel for?
Xylem vessels are water conducting tubes of the plant
What is a plant cell that only carries water called?
Xylem cells.
Why xylem is a tissue?
The most distinctive cells found in xylem are the tracheary elements, that is tracheids and vessel elements. However, the xylem is a complex tissue of plants, which means that it includes more than one type of cell. This is why it is a tissue not a cell.
What are 2 structures which make up of xylem?
Xylem may be made up of tracheids and vessel elements.
