In xylem the direction of transport is from root to shoot, whereas in phloem it is from shoot to root and every living plant part. It is because the root absorbs water and nutrients from soil and transport the same to the leaves for photosynthesis. The phloem cells transport the prepared food material to the entire plant body.

Which labels name the parts of the Tree's transport systems?

The two transport systems in a tree are the xylem and phloem. The xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while the phloem transports sugars produced through photosynthesis to other parts of the tree.


How do phloem cells differ from xylem cells in a tree?

There is a layer of living Phloem and there is a layer of living xylem. Both these layer produce dead tissue, the Phloem produces bark (dead protective outer layer), the xylem produces wood (dead supportive inner layer). Both the wood and the bark are dead. It is only the two thin layers of Phloem and Xylem that are alive.


What are the Difference between xylem and phloem function and structure?

Xylem transports water and minerals from roots to other parts of the plant, while phloem transports sugars produced by photosynthesis to different parts of the plant. Xylem is made up of tracheids and vessel elements for water transport, while phloem is composed of sieve tubes and companion cells for sugar transport.


What are The types of vascular tissue inside plants that transport energy from photosynthesis and materials from the roots to the rest of the plant are called?

The types of vascular tissue inside plants that transport materials are xylem (transports water and minerals from roots to leaves) and phloem (transports sugars and other nutrients produced in photosynthesis to various parts of the plant).


What provides horizontal transport of material in stems and roots?

The vascular tissues, xylem and phloem, provide the horizontal transport of materials in stems and roots. Xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while phloem transports sugars and other organic nutrients throughout the plant.

Do vascular seed plants with flowers contain xylem and phloem to transport water and food?

Yes, vascular seed plants with flowers have xylem and phloem to transport water and nutrients. Xylem carries water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while phloem transports food produced through photosynthesis to different parts of the plant.


To what part of the human circulatory system are xylem and phloem most similar?

Xylem and phloem in plants are most similar to the blood vessels in the human circulatory system. Xylem is analogous to arteries, as they transport water and minerals from roots to leaves, while phloem is analogous to veins, as they transport sugars and other organic compounds throughout the plant.


What part of the human circulatory system and the xylem and phloem most similar?

Xylem and phloem are the same because they transport materials through out the plant.
