Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Hey!!!!

Hopefully this answer will help you out

• Xylem is the complex tissue of plants, responsible for transporting water and other nutrients to the plants.
• Phloem is living tissue, responsible for transporting food and other organic materials.
• Xylem is located in the centre of the vascular bundle, deep in the plant
• Phloem is located on the outer side of the vascular bundle.
• The movement taken place in the xylem is Unidirectional .
• The movement taken place in the phloem is Bidirectional.
• Xylem transports only minerals and waters from the roots.
• Phloem transports food materials that are prepared by the green parts of the plants to other parts of the plant.
• The xylem provides the plant with mechanical support.
• The phloem does not provide the plant with any type of mechanical support.

Answer 2

The primary function of the phloem is to transport the prepared sugars from the leaves to different parts of the plant. The transport by xylem is unidirectional; the water and mineral are only moved up from the roots. The transport by phloem is bidirectional; the food can travel both up and down the plant.

Xylem tissue helps in the transport of water and minerals. Phloem tissue helps in the transport of food. Water is transported upwards from roots to all other plant parts. ... Transport of food in phloem requires energy in the form of ATP.
