Yes, vessel elements are a characteristic feature of angiosperms (flowering plants) and are not found in gymnosperms. Angiosperms possess both vessel elements and tracheids in their xylem, which allows for more efficient water transport. In contrast, gymnosperms primarily utilize tracheids for water conduction. Therefore, vessel elements are exclusive to angiosperms.
What else can I help you with?
What does Tracheids and vessels together make up?
Tracheids:1. These are xylem elements found in all types of vascular plants.2. These are single cells with tapering ends, hence are not syncytes.3. Tracheids are shorter in length.Vessels:1. These are also xylem elements but restricted to angiosperms only .2. A vessel is formed by several cells arranged end to end and dissolved cross walls, hence is a syncyte.3. Vessels are much longer than tracheids and are main component for water conduction.
Do vascular plants have xylem and phloem?
Yes, but some plants lack certain types of xylem and phloem cells such as vessel elements and tracheids. Tracheids have been lost in Wolffia, an aquatic plant, and vessels are not present in all conifers.
Do xylem cells have chloroplast?
No, xylem cells do not have chloroplasts. Xylem cells are responsible for transporting water and nutrients throughout the plant and are composed of specialized cells called tracheids and vessel elements, which lack chloroplasts.
Do all plants have eukaryotic cells?
Yes they are eukaryotic multicellular organism and comes under plants
What mature xylem vessels in a woody plant has?
Xylem vessel is basically for transporting water, if the cells had other parts in it (like cytoplasm, and etc), the vessel will not be able to support itself and will not be strong enough to carry water. Therefore a mature Xylem vessel must not have any other parts of the cells other than the cell wall. Basically a cell without its other part is a dead cell. So the Mature xylem vessel is a dead tissue which is enhanced with thick lignified cellulose walls, to support or give extra strength to the vessels. To summarize it, the Mature Xylem Vessel in a woody plant has only a cell wall, long hollow vessels with thick lignified cellulose walls, which are dead tissues used to transporting water from the roots to all parts of the plant.
What is the water conducting tissue in vascular plants?
There are two different types of water conducting tissues in vascular plants, both of which are constituted as xylem, they are tracheids, and vessel elements. Tracheids are found only in gymnosperms (vascular, non-flowering plants, such as pines), while both types may be found in angiosperms (flowering plants), however, in some cases angiosperms may only have xylem vessels, it depends on the species.
What plant has an xylem?
virtually all plants Only vascular plants belonging to Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms and Angiosperms have xylem; others like Algae, Fungi and Bryophytes do not have xylem and therefore these are called non-vascular plants.

What are the features of xylem?
Xylem is a type of vascular tissue responsible for transporting water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant. It is composed of tracheids, vessel elements, fibers, and parenchyma cells. Xylem also provides structural support to the plant.
Do all plants have eukaryotic cells?
Yes they are eukaryotic multicellular organism and comes under plants
Is xylem found in animals?
No, xylem cells are in plants.I think anyway ;)Xylem is seen only in plants.It is the water and mineral conducting tissue
Can Angiosperms grow without photosynthesis?
Some parasitic angiosperms like Orobanchae only can grow without their own photosynthesis
What role does xylem play in photosynthesis?
Xylem plays a critical role in photosynthesis by transporting water and minerals from the roots to the leaves. This water is essential for photosynthesis to occur as it enables the plant to maintain turgor pressure in its cells and absorb nutrients. Additionally, xylem channels help to cool the leaf surface through transpiration, which is important for regulating the temperature during photosynthesis.

Is xylem and phloem an non - vascular plant?
No. Xylem and phloem are belonging to vascular plants only. Bryophytae are not vascular, and do not have these.
