The xylem is responsible for the transport of water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves. In the leaf, the xylem continues this transport to the cells in the leaf to ensure that enough water is present for photosynthesis to occur.

Which has scattered phloem and xylem in the stem?

Seeds that are considered monocot seeds contain phloem and xylem as scattered around. Dicot seeds have more organization, with the xylem in an x and the phloem surrounding it.


How are the vascular bundles arranged in the monocot stem?

In monocot stems, vascular bundles are scattered throughout the ground tissue. They are arranged in a complex pattern, with the xylem positioned towards the center and the phloem towards the periphery. This arrangement provides strength and flexibility to the stem.


What is the difference between the arrangement of vascular tissue in the stems of dicots and monocots?

In young dicot and monocot stems do not increase in thickness. Xylem and phloem are arranged in vascular bundles in the cortex. In older stems and all woody stems, the vascular tissues form a cylinder between the cortex and the pith. The vascular bundles in a monocot are scattered throughout the stem.


What is the layer between the xylem and phloem in decot stem?

A layer of cambium is found between xylem and phloem in dicot stem.


What is found in the part of a stem?

xylem


Is gumamela monocot or dicot stem?

gumamela is a dicot stem


How would you differentiate between the roots of monocot and dicot plants?

The roots of most dicots originate from the radicle. They appear in an X shape - with the xylem in the centre, and phloem in the gaps. By contrast, the radicle of monocots aborts, and the roots appear to originate almost at random from nodes in the stem. The phloem and xylem alternate - forming a circle.


Where are the xylem and phloem tubes in the plant?

In the stem


Which tissue contains xylem tissue?

The Stem


What is the tubes called in the stem?

Do monocot stem have a vasular cambium?

No, no they do not. As well as not having a cortex, monocot stems don't have a pith either.


What is the tissue responsible for transporting water and minerals from the root to the stem and leaves?

The tissue responsible for transporting water and minerals from the root to the stem and leaves is called xylem. Xylem is a type of vascular tissue that consists of specialized cells that form vessels for conducting water and nutrients.
