Answer 2

★ Xylem...✒

• Xylem consists of tracheids, vessels, xylem parenchyma and xylem fibres.

• Xylem mainly consists of dead cells (except the xylem parenchyma).

• It conducts water and minerals from roots to aerial parts of the plant.

★ Phloem...✒

• Phloem is made up of sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem fibres and the phloem parenchyma.

• Phloem mainly consists of living cells (except phloem fibres).

• It translocates food prepared by the plant from the leaves to storage organs and growing parts of the body.
