Fibre long and thin, vessel short and thick, fibre offers a structural support, xylem vessel transports water, both are dead cells both consist of strength offered lignin

What are the similarities between xylem and phloem?
xylem and phloem are both in plants, xylem are like he veins in a plant, they carry water to the top of the plant
What are the similarities between deciduous and coniferous trees?
they both produce things like cones and flowers and both have annual rings of xylem in the stems.
What the difference between autumn and spring wood?
the xylem tissues formed in the autumn and winter seacons form autumn wood. and the xylem tissues form in the spring and summer season are called spring wood.
What is similar about gymnosperms and angiosperms?
•In both the groups, the sporophyte is the large, conspicuous, freely existing, independent and dominant phase in the life cycle. The sporophytic plant body is differentiated into true stem, leaves and roots. •All the vegetative parts of the sporophyte consists of typical xylem and phloem cells. The xylem consists of tracheids and xylem parenchyma, vessels being absent. Phloem consists of sieve-tubes and phloem parenchyma, the companion cells being absent.
Why are cells hollow?
Yes xylem cells are hollow because Xylem are just made up from cell walls left from cells, making hollow tubes. The walls of these tubes are hydrophilic, so water attaches readily to them, helping it to climb on its way up the plant
What are the similarities and difference between red blood cells and xylem vessels?
red blood cells carries oxygen, xylem vessels carries water. both help carry out the process of respiration.
What key cells are in xylem?
Tissues that make up of xylem are xylem vessels, tracheids, sclerenchyma tissue (fibres) and parenchyma tissue.
What fibers surrounds the xylem and phloem?
The xylem and the phloem tissues are found in plants. Bast fibers surround the xylem and the phloem tissues in plants.
What are the similarities between xylem and phloem?
xylem and phloem are both in plants, xylem are like he veins in a plant, they carry water to the top of the plant
Why do xylem vessels have pits etc?
Pits are essentially holes in the xylem walls. Xylem walls are lignified by lignin, a material impermeable to war. The pits allow water to flow between xylem vessels of the plant - this is known as cross flow.
Similarities between scream and xylem?
I don't know who asked this why would they?!?!?!
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 is the diffference between xylem and phloem?
Xylem contains Vessels, trachieds and xylem parenchyma Phloem consists of sieve tubes, companion cells and phloem parenchyma
Write four elements of xylem?
Tracheids Vessels Xylem parenchyma Xylem fibres
Which vessels transports water in plant?
Xylem vessels
What fibers surround the xylem tissues?
Fibers made of long, narrow, sclerenchyma cells with thick secondary walls surround the xylem tissue. They provide strength and support to the xylem tissue.
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.
