What happens if xylem is removed from the plant?
If xylem in a vascular plant does not function properly conduction of water and minerals become difficult. this results in the retardation of growth.
What would happen if a plant didn't have any Xylem cells?
Without xylem cells, a plant would be unable to transport water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant. This would result in wilting, stunted growth, and ultimately lead to the plant's death. Xylem cells are crucial for water uptake and support within the plant.
What would we be able to study by injecting a nutrient dye into a root of a plant?
Xylem sap transport
The rate of flow of water through the xylem is regulated by?
the stomata in the leaves. When the stomata open, water is able to evaporate from the leaves, creating a pressure gradient that allows water to be pulled up through the xylem. When the stomata close, this flow of water is reduced or stopped.
What would happen to a plant if the xylem tubes but not the phloem tubes in its stem were cut?
The plant would wilt and die as it would not be able to receive water from the roots. For this reason cut flowers are placed in water to extend their life. If a vascular plant is subjected to cut its phloem in the stem region (leaving its xylem tissue intact), this plant will die of starvation because transportation of water and menerals is done by xylem and phloem transports the prepared food material to different plant parts. In a situation where phloem is dis-connected to the roots, the food supply to the roots will be stopped. Thus roots in the absence of nourishment will not be able to absorb water and minerals and the plant will die ultimately.

How can water flow up the xylem tube while gravity is pulling it down?
Water is able to flow upward through the xylem tubes due to a combination of capillary action, cohesion, and transpiration pull. Capillary action helps lift the water molecules, while cohesion enables them to stick together. The transpiration pull, caused by water evaporating from the leaves, creates a negative pressure that helps draw water up the xylem tubes.
What is the use of xylem?
Xylem is WOOD (including lumber, and wood products) You should be able to answer the rest.
Using the term water potential how water moves from vascular tissue to atmosphere?
I took the following from the website below: http://www.cybered.net/commerce.asp?CatId=310&PrId=X5002116 The water is taken in by osmosis through the root-hair cells. The water then passes to the xylem tissue in the middle of the root and travels up the stem via the same xylem tissue. From the xylem in the leaf it passes through the air spaces and out into the atmosphere through the stomata. water potential draws in water from the soil and moves up through the xylem into the leaves This is possible because water is polar molecule and cohesion and adhesion resulting from Hydrogen bonds drag water up the xylem until they reach the stomata.
What are the traditional uses of xylem?

What would happen if the position of the xylem and phloem were reversed in a persimmon tree?
Depends on your plant and its size. In dicots, the xylem in the interior of the stem becomes "heartwood" as the plant gets bigger, and in this state helps hold up the tree. Reversing xylem and phloem in this situation would give you a plant without heartwood and therefore not able to grow to a large size. In monocots, no problem. Monocots have "vascular bundles" which have both xylem and phloem; these occur throughout the stem.
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 so fascinating about fish?
What makes them able to breathe in water, their color, and shape.
