Chapter 30: Q. 30 (page 869)

Compare the structure and function of xylem to that of phloem.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Xylem tissue responsible for water transportation and phloem tissue is for organic substance transportation.

Step by step solution

01

Step-1 Introduction 

Transportation of water and nutrients are mainly influenced by evapotranspiration, water potential, and stomatal regulation. A complex conducting tissue that occurs in a vascular bundle is called vascular tissue. This vascular tissue is responsible for the transportation of water, nutrients, and minerals.

02

Step-2 Explanation

Xylem Phloem
Responsible for water and mineral transport
Responsible for food and organic matter transport
Components like vessel elements, tracheids, and xylem parenchyma are present
Composed of companion cells, sieve-tube cells, phloem fibers, and phloem parenchyma
All are dead at maturity except xylem parenchyma
Most of the cells are alive at maturity
The movement of material is unidirectional
The movement of material is bidirectional
Located at the center of the vascular bundle
Situated on the outer side of the vascular bundle
