Question

what is use of xylem and phloem​

Answer 1

From the given question the correct answer is:

• Xylem and phloem are the vascular bundles of the plant.

• Xylem is used to transport inorganic solutes throughout the plant.

• phloem is used to transport organic solutes throughout the plant.

• It means that the xylem transports water throughout the plant.

and phloem transport food throughout the plant.

• Xylem and phloem also transport the minerals throughout the plant.

• xylem transfer water and minerals from root to leaves.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. Xylem

• Xylem is the vascular tissue in plants that conveys water and dissolved nutrients upwards from the roots.
• It also helps to form the woody element in the stem.
• It provides physical support and mechanical strength to the plants.
• Xylem tissue consists of a variety of specialized, water-conducting cells known as tracheary elements.
• Parts of the xylem are tracheids, vessels, fibers, parenchyma, and rays.

2. Phloem​

• Phloem is a complex vascular tissue in plants, it acts as a transport system for soluble organic compounds within vascular plants.
• It conducts sugars and other metabolic products downwards from the leaves.
• The phloem is made up of living tissue.
• It uses turgor pressure and energy in the form of ATP to transport sugars to the plant organs such as the fruits, flowers, buds, and roots.
• Parts of the phloem are sieve elements, sieve plates, companion cells, parenchyma, and sclerenchyma.
