compare the structural and functional futures of of xylem and and phloem in tabular form
Answers
Answer:
XYLEM
Structure-:
1) They're generally tubular.
2) Xylem are composed of four different types of cells- Tracheids, Vessels, Xylem Parenchyma and Xylem fibre (or sclerenchyma)
3)) Except the Xylem Parenchyma all other three cells are dead and lignified.
Function-:
1) Xylem is a conductive and mechanical tissue.
2) It also serves as a storage cell for food and helps in lateral conduction of water.
3) Conduction is usually unidirectional.
PHLOEM
Structure-:
1) Like xylem they're also tubular.
2) Phloem is also composed of four different cells- Sieve tubes, Companion cells, Phloem Parenchyma and Phloem Fibre.
3) Except Phloem Fibre all other three cells are living.
Function-:
1) Phloem is also a conductive tissue but unlike xylem it doesn't provides any mechanical support.
2) Phloem transports photosynthetically prepared food materials all over the plant.
3) Conduction is bidirectional.
