The basic function of Xylem is to transport water (and some soluble minerals) up from the roots and through the plant. Phloem transports organic nutrients - particularly sucrose (a sugar) - throughout the plant. Both are types of vascular tissue found in plants.
Only flows in one direction
The vascular plants are differentiated in to root and shoot having conducting tissue in the form of xylem and phloem whereas mosses and liverworts have rhizoides in place of roots and lack xylem and phloem.
No. Xylem and phloem are belonging to vascular plants only. Bryophytae are not vascular, and do not have these.
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.
Both are different structurally and functionally. The xylem cosists of Vessels, trachieds, and parenchyma and is responsible for conduction of water and minerals. the phloem consists of sieve tubes, companion cells and phloem parenchyma and is responsible for conductions of prepared food material in different parts of the plant.
differ in such a way that xylem transport water while phloem transport food and nutrients
Only flows in one direction
xylem and phloem
yes, xylem and phloem are tissues in the vascular system
.food is carried by phloem and water is carried by xylem.
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.
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.
Xylem contains Vessels, trachieds and xylem parenchyma Phloem consists of sieve tubes, companion cells and phloem parenchyma
the xylem transports water and the phloem transports organic substances.
The vascular cambium tissue makes xylem and phloem.
The vascular plants are differentiated in to root and shoot having conducting tissue in the form of xylem and phloem whereas mosses and liverworts have rhizoides in place of roots and lack xylem and phloem.
No. Xylem and phloem are belonging to vascular plants only. Bryophytae are not vascular, and do not have these.
