Xylem exists in the vascular system of plants, primarily in the roots, stems, and leaves. It is responsible for transporting water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant.
This is the vascular tissue xylem.
The Xylem of a plant transports water and some nutrients.
The Xylem of a plant transports water and some nutrients.
Xylem
Xylem cells are responsible for supplying water to all parts of the plant. They make up the xylem tube which transports water, but then they die. So the xylem tube which is made up of dead xylem cells is responsible for transport of water in the plant.
No, xylem and phloem are present in roots, stems, and leaves of plants. Xylem transports water and minerals from roots to stems and leaves, while phloem carries sugars and other nutrients from photosynthetic tissues to other parts of the plant.
Xylem tissue is responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. It consists of specialized cells that form tubes to facilitate the movement of fluids. This process helps provide nutrients and support for the plant's growth and development.
Vascular plants have xylem
Water is transported by the xylem.
This is the vascular tissue xylem.
In Angiosperms , it is xylem vessels ( proto and meta xylem together ) , Xylem sclerenchyma and xylem parenchyma ; together form Xylem tissue ( That is why xylem is called a compound tissue ). In Gymnosperms , xylem vessels are replaced by Xylem tracheids . All other tings are almost the same .
primary xylem is primary in nature & is derived from procambium. But secondary xylem is secondary in nature and derived from fascicular cambium and interfascicular cambium. Primary xylem is differentiated into protoxylem and metaxylem, but secondary xylem has no such differentiation. In primary xylem vessels and tracheids are long and narrow, and vessels don't have tyloses, but in secondary xylem, vessels are blocked by tyloses, and vessels and tracheids are wider and shorter. Xylem fibres are more abundant in secondary xylem , and found in small numbers in primary xylem. Also unlike in primary xylem, secondary xylem has differentiated into sapwood & heartwood.
xylem and phloem
1. Centripetal xylem 2. Centrifugal xylem both types are involved in conduction
Xylem cells are in plants not animals.
