what are the functions of xylem tissue?
100682
Xylem is the specialised tissue of vascular plants that transports water and nutrients from the plant–soil interface to stems and leaves, and provides mechanical support and storage. The water‐conducting function of xylem is one of the major distinguishing features of vascular plants.

Which statement best describes the difference between xylem and phloem? Xylem transports water and nutrients in the plant, and phloem transports water and sugar. Xylem cells make up vascular tissue, and phloem cells make up ground and dermal tissue.

Xylem transports and stores water and water-soluble nutrients in vascular plants. Phloem is responsible for transporting sugars, proteins, and other organic molecules in plants. Vascular plants are able to grow higher than other plants due to the rigidity of xylem cells, which support the plant.

Xylem. The xylem is a tissue which transports water and minerals from the roots up the plant stem and into the leaves. ... The cells that make up the xylem are adapted to their function: They lose their end walls so the xylem forms a continuous, hollow tube. They become strengthened by a substance called lignin .

Xylem and phloem. The xylem and the phloem make up the vascular tissue of a plant and transports water, sugars, and other important substances around a plant. ... Xylem tissue is used mostly for transporting water from roots to stems and leaves but also transports other dissolved compounds.

Xylem tissues are tubular-shaped structure, with the absence of cross walls. This tissue resembles the shape of a star. Phloem tissues are elongated, tubular-shaped structures that include thin sieve tubes with walls. Xylem occupies the centre of the vascular bundle.

Parenchyma cells are the only living cells present in the xylem tissue. Xylem refers to specialized conducting tissues of plants that help in the transport of water across plants. ll the cells of xylem are dead except parenchyma cells.

xylem and phloem are examples of complex tissue. xylem function as conducting tissue for water and minerals from roots to the stems and leaves and also provide mechanical strength to the plant parts.

Xylem and phloem. The xylem and the phloem make up the vascular tissue of a plant and transports water, sugars, and other important substances around a plant. ... One xylem and one phloem are known as a 'vascular bundle' and most plants have multiple vascular bundles running the length of their leaves, stems, and roots.

All the components of xylem except xylem parenchyma are dead, hence xylem is a non-living tissue. The main function of xylem is conduction of water. For this the xylem elements need to form a narrow tube like structure, so that water can rise in the tube through capillary action.

The xylem transport system Xylem is a tissue consisting of dead, hollowed-out cells that form a system of pipes. The walls of xylem cells are lignified (strengthened with a substance called lignin ). This allows the xylem to withstand pressure changes as water moves through the plant.

There are two different types of vascular tissues, called xylem and phloem. Both are shown in Figure below. Xylem is vascular tissue that transports water and dissolved minerals from roots to stems and leaves. This type of tissue consists of dead cells that lack end walls between adjacent cells.

XYLEM : 1) This tissue contains xylem vessels, tracheids. ... 4) the cells of this tissue are dead and works on the principle transpiration. PHLOEM : 1)it contains phloem vessels and companion cells. 2) It transports food and water to all parts of the plant.

Main function – upwards water transport. The xylem, vessels and tracheids of the roots, stems and leaves are interconnected to form a continuous system of water-conducting channels reaching all parts of the plants. The system transports water and soluble mineral nutrients from the roots throughout the plant.
1458743
Xylem is known as complex tissue because it is made up of different types of cells like vessels, tracheids, xylem parenchyma, xylem fibre. They both conduct water and minerals up, give mechanical support and store food for the plant and plant tissue.

Xylem and phloem. Plants have tissues to transport water, nutrients and minerals. Xylem transports water and mineral salts from the roots up to other parts of the plant, while phloem transports sucrose and amino acids between the leaves and other parts of the plant.

What is the function of xylem and phloem? The woody tissue of a stem that carries water and dissolves minerals upward from the roots to the leaves. The vascular tissue in plants that transports food manufactured in the leaves to the rest of the plant.
