What else can I help you with?
Leaves dont have secondary xylem and phloem why not?
Leaves are designed to last only a short time so a secondary xylem and phloem supply is not needed. These chemicals offer a strong support system that is not needed in the leaves, just the trees.
What are tubes that carry fluids from the roots up to leaves of vascular plants?
xylem and phloem
What term describes wood secondary xylem epidermal tissue primary vascular tissue or secondary phloem?
Secondary xylem
Do xylem and phloem exist only in roots and stems?
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.
Are the Xylem and phloem grouped together in the cambium?
No, the xylem and phloem are not grouped together in the cambium. The cambium is a layer of cells in between the xylem and phloem that is responsible for secondary growth in plants. It gives rise to new xylem and phloem cells as the plant grows.
What is precambium?
The precambium is a layer of meristematic tissue found between the primary xylem and phloem in vascular plants. It is responsible for the production of secondary vascular tissue in the form of secondary xylem (wood) and secondary phloem.
What arises from lateral meristem activity?
secondary xylem and phloem.
Does Secondary phloem describe wood?
No, secondary phloem does not describe wood. Wood is primarily made up of secondary xylem, which is responsible for water conduction and structural support in plants. Secondary phloem, on the other hand, is involved in the transport of nutrients and sugars and is located just outside the secondary xylem in the plant stem.
What are the two different types of vascular tissue?
Phloem and xylem are the two main types of vascular tissue found in plants. Xylem is the tissue that mainly carries water, and a few minerals, in the system. Phloem is the tissue that carries photosynthetic materials through the plant.
How is pholem different from xylem?
Xylem is different from phloem structurally and functionally.Xylem consists of Tracheids, vessels and xylem parenchyma whereas phloem consists of Sieve tubes, companion cells and phloem parenchyma.Xylem conducts water and minerals to the leaves whereas phloem transports the prepared food from leaves to different parts of plant body.
What structures does this vascular cambium produce and where are they produced?
The vascular cambium produces secondary xylem (wood) and secondary phloem, which are formed in a lateral direction. These structures are produced between the primary xylem and primary phloem in stems and roots of plants. The secondary xylem is produced toward the interior, while the secondary phloem is produced toward the exterior, contributing to the increase in girth of the plant.
Which part of the plant contains xylem and phloem?
Xylem and phloem are typically found in the vascular tissue of plants. In stems, xylem is located towards the center while phloem is closer to the outer edge. In roots, xylem is towards the center and phloem surrounds it.
