No ATP needed. Cohesion-Tension that transports the water from the roots to the leaves does not need to consume ATP because the vessels and tracheids are non-living.
The vascular tissue in plants made of dead cells that transport water and minerals from roots is called xylem. Xylem tissue is responsible for conducting water and nutrients upward from the roots to the rest of the plant.
Yes, heartwood is composed of dead xylem tissue that no longer conducts water but provides structural support to the tree. It is typically darker and denser than the surrounding sapwood.
Dead tissue in xylem includes the vessel elements and tracheids that transport water and minerals, while live tissue includes the xylem parenchyma cells that provide support and store nutrients. In the phloem, the sieve tube elements are living cells responsible for transporting sugars, while companion cells support and aid in nutrient transport.
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.
- Walls made from dead lignin cells, which waterproof and support walls even if water levels are low in plants. - Narrow tubes so water column doesn't break easily. - Pits in walls allow water to move from one cell to another.
xylem
Yes, phloem is living tissue, xylem tends to be woody and dead.

Xylem
Yes, heartwood is composed of dead xylem tissue that no longer conducts water but provides structural support to the tree. It is typically darker and denser than the surrounding sapwood.
Xylem is part of the vascular tissue of plants, and the xylem and phloem together are grouped together as the stele (latin for 'pillar'). Xylem tissue is encased in lignin, the substance that creates the strength of wood, causing the protoplasm (living part of the cell) to die, and therefore be dead tissue; phloem is living tissue.

Dead tissue in xylem includes the vessel elements and tracheids that transport water and minerals, while live tissue includes the xylem parenchyma cells that provide support and store nutrients. In the phloem, the sieve tube elements are living cells responsible for transporting sugars, while companion cells support and aid in nutrient transport.
No, mature phloem tissue is not dead upon maturity. Phloem tissue remains alive and functional, aiding in the transport of sugars and other organic compounds throughout the plant. The cells in mature phloem tissue are specialized for this function and typically stay alive for an extended period.
The vascular cambium tissue makes xylem and phloem.
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.
Tulips have the least amount of xylem tissue.
