Xylem tubes are rigid because they include this chemical NOT found in phloem in their cell walls?

Xylem cells are strengthened by a substance called lignin. This strengthening is necessary because as water is pulled through the xylem it creates a pull on the cell walls which would cause the xylem to collapse, just like a paper straw collapses if it gets too wet.

What are the two different types of vascular tissue?
Phloem and xylem are the two main types of vascular tissue found in plants. Xylem is the tissue that mainly carries water, and a few minerals, in the system. Phloem is the tissue that carries photosynthetic materials through the plant.
Are auxins transported in xylem or phloem?
Auxins are transported in the phloem, not the xylem.
Why is xylem outside and the phloem inside?
Both xylem and phloem are hollow. The most hollow of the two would be xylem since that is the wood that is on the tree.
What are the two vascular tissues found in the root and stem systems?
Xylem and Phloem Xylem-transports water from the roots Phloem-transports food from the process of photosynthesis through other parts of the plant
Do xylem and phloem exist only in roots and stems?
True Xylem & phloem are found every where there are vascular bundles including roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits etc.
Do you capitalize xylem and pholem?
No, because xylem and phloem arenot propernouns.
What are tubes that carry fluids from the roots up to leaves of vascular plants?
xylem and phloem

Differences between plant xylem and phloem and fruit xylem and phloem?
Phloem transports food and xylem transports water and minerals:)
Are auxins transported in xylem or phloem?
Auxins are transported in the phloem, not the xylem.
To what part of the human circulatory system are xylem and phloem most similar?
Xylem and phloem are the same because they transport materials through out the plant.

Are xylem and phloem tissues?
yes, xylem and phloem are tissues in the vascular system
What fibers surround the xylem and phloem tissues?
The xylem and the phloem tissues are found in plants. Bast fibers surround the xylem and the phloem tissues in plants.
What brings food and water to your cells?
.food is carried by phloem and water is carried by xylem.
