Xylem
. Xylem tissues are tubular shaped structure, with the absence of cross walls. This tissue resembles the shape of star
Xylem occupies the center of vascular bundle
Xylem fibers are smaller
They are present in leaves , stem , and roots
Theses tissues move in a unidirectional
They live with hollow dead cells.
The total amount of xylem tissue is more.
Transport soluble mineral nutrients and water molecules from the roots to the aerial parts of the plant
forms vascular bundles with phloem.
Provides mechanical strength to plant and helps in strengthening of the stem
It is responsible for replacing the total amount of lost water molecules through transpiration and photosynthesis.
Phloem
Phloem tissues are elongated, tubular
Shaped structure that include thin sieve tubes with walls.
Phloem is located on the outer side of the vascular bundle.
Phloem fibers are larger
They are present in leaves , stem but transport and grow in fruit seeds and roots.
These tissues are move in bidirectional
They live with cytoplasm without the nucleus.
The total amount of phloem tissues is less.
Transport food and other nutrients including sugar and amino acid from leaves to storage organs and growing parts of the plant
Forms vascular bundles with xylem
It is responsible for transporting proteins and mRNAs throughout the plant. It is responsible for transporting proteins and mRNA
Through out the plant
