Question

difference between Xylem and Phloem

Answer 1

Xylem transports water and solutes from the roots to the leaves, phloem transports food from the leaves to the rest of the plant. Transpiration is the process by which water evaporates from the leaves, which results in more water being drawn up from the roots.

2. Conduction of water and minerals takes place through xylem vessels and tracheids .

Phloem :-

1. Transport of food occurs in leaves to other parts of plant.
