Yes, xylem conducts water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the leaves in a one-way flow. This unidirectional transport is driven primarily by processes like transpiration, where water evaporates from the leaves, creating a negative pressure that pulls water upward. Xylem vessels are structured to facilitate this upward movement, ensuring efficient delivery of nutrients to the plant's aerial parts.

How is pholem different from xylem?

Xylem is different from phloem structurally and functionally.Xylem consists of Tracheids, vessels and xylem parenchyma whereas phloem consists of Sieve tubes, companion cells and phloem parenchyma.Xylem conducts water and minerals to the leaves whereas phloem transports the prepared food from leaves to different parts of plant body.


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.


The flow of water flowing into the xylem is regulated by?

The flow of water flowing into the xylem is regulated by the process of transpiration and the cohesion-tension theory. Transpiration creates a negative pressure that pulls water up through the xylem, while cohesion between water molecules helps maintain a continuous column of water within the xylem.


Does phloem have a two-way flow?

Yes, phloem transports sugars and other nutrients from the leaves to other parts of the plant (known as downward flow) and also transports hormones and other signaling molecules from other parts of the plant to the leaves (known as upward flow), creating a two-way flow system.
