What else can I help you with?
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 is a specialized tissue in a plant that allows for the flow of water?
xylem
How do leaf cells obtain their water supply?
the roots make the water flow up from the ground through the xylem.
Does xylem have a one way flow?
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.
Where does the xylem tube carry water too?
Xylem tubes carry water and minerals from the roots to the leaves of a plant. They are responsible for transporting water upward through the plant to help with photosynthesis and other metabolic processes.

What is xylem flow in plants?
Xylem transports water throughout the plant.
Where in the plant does water flow through?
Xylem tubes of vascular bundles of stems. :)
Which is a specialize tissue in a plant that allows for the flow of water throughout the plant?
xylem
What is a specialized tissue in a plant that allows for the flow of water?
xylem
What direction does the xylem transport water?
The xylem in a plant transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the shoots and leaves. The movement of water is typically upward and against gravity due to the cohesion and adhesion properties of water molecules within the xylem vessels.
Is the mass flow of water in the xylem or the evaporation of water vapour from the surface of leaves part of the process of transpiration?
The evaporation of water from the porous surface of the leaves is part of transpiration. The water in the xylem is not. The xylem and its neighboring counter part move water throughout the plant in order for it to preform photosynthesis.
What are the two things that you know are always true about flowing water?
Flowing Water always flow downwards, and is always wet
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.
How does xylem differ from phlegm?
Xylem is a one way flow
How is the xylem different from pholem?
Xylem is a one way flow
How do leaf cells obtain their water supply?
the roots make the water flow up from the ground through the xylem.
