Xylem is a complex permanent tissue that is made up of four types of cells or elements. These are:- 1. Tracheids 2. Vessels 3. Xylem parenchyma 4. Xylem fibres Among these, only Xylem Fibres are dead and the rest three are living. Xylem is also known as wood. Tracheids and Vessels have 5 types of lignifications: annular (in the form of rings), spiral (as a helix), reticulate (in the form of network), scalariform (as a ladder), and pitted (with small and circular unthickened areas called pits).
What else can I help you with?
How does the features of xylem vessels help it carry out its function?
The features of xylem vessels, such as their thick lignified walls and hollow structure, allow them to transport water and nutrients efficiently throughout the plant. The presence of pits and perforations in the walls also aid in the movement of fluids. Additionally, the interconnected nature of xylem vessels enables them to form continuous pathways for water movement from roots to leaves.
How many types of elements together make up the xylem tissue?
In Angiosperms , it is xylem vessels ( proto and meta xylem together ) , Xylem sclerenchyma and xylem parenchyma ; together form Xylem tissue ( That is why xylem is called a compound tissue ). In Gymnosperms , xylem vessels are replaced by Xylem tracheids . All other tings are almost the same .
How does xylem differ from phlegm?
Xylem is a one way flow
What is the common name for secondary xylem?
primary xylem is primary in nature & is derived from procambium. But secondary xylem is secondary in nature and derived from fascicular cambium and interfascicular cambium. Primary xylem is differentiated into protoxylem and metaxylem, but secondary xylem has no such differentiation. In primary xylem vessels and tracheids are long and narrow, and vessels don't have tyloses, but in secondary xylem, vessels are blocked by tyloses, and vessels and tracheids are wider and shorter. Xylem fibres are more abundant in secondary xylem , and found in small numbers in primary xylem. Also unlike in primary xylem, secondary xylem has differentiated into sapwood & heartwood.
