How does xylem differ from pholem?

Xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while phloem transports sugars produced through photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts of the plant. Xylem consists of tracheids and vessel elements, while phloem is composed of sieve tube elements and companion cells.


What is the job of phloem tubes?

Phloem tubes transport sugars, nutrients, and hormones produced by the plant throughout the organism. They work in conjunction with xylem tubes to support the overall functioning and growth of the plant.


Identify the positions of xylem and phloem tissues as seen in transverse sections of unthickened herbaceous dicotyledonous roots stems and leaves?

In a dicotyledonous root - in the centre of the rootIn a dicotyledonous stem - in bundles near the edge of the stemIn a dicotyledonous leaf - forms a network that supports softer leaf tissue


Why does a plant need xylem and phloem?

The xylem tube transports the water and minerals to the top of the plant or tree like the General Sherman. The phloem tube transports sugar or sap to all the living cells that cannot make its own sugar.


How does the water and minerals move through the plant body?

Water and minerals are absorbed by the plant's roots and transported upward through specialized tubes called xylem. This process is driven by transpiration, where water evaporates from the leaves, creating tension that pulls water from the roots. The movement of water and minerals through the plant body is essential for nutrient uptake and maintaining plant structure.

Does daffodils have xylem and pholem?

Xylem transports water and dissolved minerals and nutrients from the roots upward and throughout the plant. Pholem carries phytosynthate, primarily sugar, from the leaves to the other parts of the plant and down to the bulb. Vascular plants include clubmosses, horsetails, ferns, gymnosperms and angiosperms. Since daffodils are angiosperms (flowering plants) they they do have xylem and pholem.

What are the jobs of the pholem and xylem?

the xylem moves water and minerals up the stem from roots to leaves and phloem moves food from the leaves to the rest of the plant it can transport food up and down in a plant.


What is a circulatory systems?

This would be the vascular plants vascular tissue. The xylem carries water from the roots to the leaves and the pholem carries manufactured sugars from the leaves to the places in the plant where the sugars are needed.

Where does the pholem go?

the pholem is a tissue that flows down the tubes.
