The xylem in plants are responsible for

Difference between Xylem and Phloem: Xylem Phloem 1. Xylem tissue helps in the transport of water and minerals. 1. Phloem tissue helps in the transport of food. 2. Water is transported upwards from roots to all...

There is a high tension and low pressure created in the root hair epidermis. This is because of the transpiration pull exerted by loss of water by transpiration. This low pressure favors osmotic uptake...

Xylem and phloem are known as complex tissues as they are made up of more than one type of cells. These cells work in a coordinated manner, as a unit,...

Transpirational pull is responsible for the ascent of water in the xylem. This ascent of water is dependent on the following physical factors: Cohesion – Mutual attraction between water molecules Surface tension...

Xylem is a complex tissue. It is made up of following four kinds of cells or elements:  (a) Tracheids  (b) Vessels  (c) Xylem parenchyma  (d) Xylem fibres.

(c) tracheids

(i) All the plants and animals in an area are interdependent on each other. The plants and animals; along with their physical environment make the ecosystem.  (ii) Relief (Land and soil)...

Transpirational pull is responsible for the ascent of water in the xylem. This ascent of water is dependent on the following physical factors: • Cohesion – Mutual attraction between water molecules •...

(a) transport of water

The xylem tissue transports water and minerals from the soil to the leaves 5. of a plant for photosynthesis. If xylem is removed, upward movement of water will stop leading...
