Tubes, such as phloem tubes, primarily transport organic nutrients like sugars, while xylem vessels are responsible for carrying water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. Additionally, xylem vessels are composed of dead cells that provide structural support, whereas phloem tubes consist of living cells that facilitate nutrient transport. Lastly, xylem transport occurs unidirectionally (upward), while phloem transport is bidirectional, moving nutrients to various parts of the plant as needed.

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 are the characteristics of xylem?

1) The main functions of xylem is to carry water and mineral salt upward from the root to different parts of shoots. 2)Since walls of tracheids, vessels and sclerenchyma of xylem are lignified, they give mechanical strength to plant body.

How does glandular tissue differ from other organs in texture?

Glandular tissue is specialized for secretion and typically has a softer, spongier texture compared to other organs. It is often rich in blood vessels, ducts, and secretory cells, which give it a more gland-like appearance and function.

What specialized in vascular plants transport water and minerals?

Hey, so you want to know this right? Well look in your science book pg.104. And if you don't well sucks for you ill give you the answer anyways its the xylem. it transports water and minerals

How do microfilaments and microtubules differ from each other?

Microfilaments are thinner rods of protein that enable movement. Microtubules are hollow tubes that give rigidity and shape. Flagella and cilia have microtubules in their centers.
