Differences between plant xylem and phloem and fruit xylem and phloem?

Phloem transports food and xylem transports water and minerals:)


What is the role of phloem and the vascular plant?

The xylem transports water and minerals through the stem and the phloem transports the food.


How is the xylem different from phloem?

xylem transports water and minerals while phloem transports products of photosynthesis and other metabolic processes.


Function of xylem and phloem?

the xylem transports water and the phloem transports organic substances.


What do vascular plants have that work together to transport water food and waste to all parts of the plant?

Phloem tissue transports food and water, while xylem transports waste. This is found not to be the case; xylem, after a brief internet search transporst water, waste, and soluble minerals while phloem transports Glucose (C6H12O6), and other minerals needed to sustain the plant.


What is the importance of the phloem tube?

The phloem runs sugar from the leaves to the rest of the plant, and finally for storage in the root system. Remember phloem transports food (the two "f" sounds go together) and xylem transports water/dissolved minerals (sorry, no pneumoic device for that :)


What specialized in vascular plants transport water and minerals?

Hey, so you want to know this right? Well look in your science book pg.104. And if you don't well sucks for you ill give you the answer anyways its the xylem. it transports water and minerals


How does a carnation absorb water?

Carnation blossoms are 2-3 inches and 16 to 18 inches tall.


Which way does a xylem go up a vasscular tissue?

Xylem transports water and minerals up the stem of the plant for maintenance. Phloem is bidirectional and transports the glucose derived from photosynthesis.


What what the jods of the phloem and xylem?

The xylem and the phloem are known as the transportation system in vascular plants. The xylem transports water and nutrients while the phloem transports sugars.


What do vascular tissues in plants do?

There are two types of vascular tissue that aid in transport and there are two substances that are transported. Xylem transports water and dissolved minerals and phloem transports sugar (sap).


Is Xylem a vascular tissue that is alive transports sugar form the leaves of all parts of the plant or transport water and dissolved minerals from roots and stems to all parts of a plant?

xylem is active when it is dead and it transports water and dissolved minerals from roots to all parts of a plant phloem transports sugars
