What are the xylem cells that most of a tree's wood is made up of?

Xylem consists of specialized water-conducting tissues made up mostly of narrow, elongated, hollow cells. These cells may be of several types, including tracheids (the basic cell type), vessel members, fibres, and parenchyma.

How do most creationists believe that coal formed?
They think that coal was made by decayed plants, and trees.
When do most droughts occur?
Most of the droughts occur when there is lack of trees.
What are most oxygen producing trees?
The green kind.
Where does most of her oxygen in the air come from?
Plants and trees
What Northeast trees will soak up the most water in our backyard?
Willows and Poplars are seriously water-hungry trees.
Why do palm trees have more xylem?
Because they need more of it then most plants
What plant contain a tube like system of special cells that is used to transport water and nutrients throughout the plant?
A plant that has tube-like cells to help transport water is the xylem. Xylem is a type of tissue found in vascular plants. It is responsible for the upward movement of water and minerals from the roots to the shoots and leaves of plants. Xylem is composed of several types of cells including tracheids vessel elements xylem parenchyma cells and xylem fibers. Tracheids are the most common type of xylem cells and they are tube-like in shape. They are connected end-to-end to form a continuous tube that allows water to travel from the roots to the leaves. Vessel elements are also tube-like and are arranged in a series of rings. They are larger than tracheids and are responsible for transporting larger amounts of water. Xylem parenchyma cells help to store and transport minerals and other solutes. Xylem fibers provide structural support to the other xylem cells. Together these cells form a transport system that allows water to move up the plant and helps keep the plant hydrated.
Why xylem is a tissue?
The most distinctive cells found in xylem are the tracheary elements, that is tracheids and vessel elements. However, the xylem is a complex tissue of plants, which means that it includes more than one type of cell. This is why it is a tissue not a cell.
How do primary on secondary xylem differ in origin?
The Vascular Cambium adds cells on both sides, producing secondary Xylem toward the inside of the stem This is true for most vascular plants except for the order Myrtales that has phloem on both sides of the xylem. The cambium structure is quite different in this order.
How most trees grow?
Trees increase in height by building new cells from the apical meristem at the top of the tree. The trunk expands in diameter by producing new cells around the circumference from the vascular cambium, which produces xylem and phloem to transport food and water, and the cork cambium, which produces bark. Branches and roots grow longer by producing new cells from the lateral meristems at the tip, similar to the apical meristem. The apical meristem and cambium contain meristematic tissue, which is a collection of undifferentiated cells that dive and then differentiate to become specific cell types.
What plants cells that are long and hollow transport water throughout the plant?
there are 2 types of cells in plants that carry water and nutrient around them. phloem cells most notably transport sucrose while xylem transports water.
Most transpiration occurs in the?
xylem
How many cells are most protists made of?
One
Why is xylem outside and the phloem inside?
Both xylem and phloem are hollow. The most hollow of the two would be xylem since that is the wood that is on the tree.
What are flagpoles made of?
They used to be made from pine trees but most are now aluminium.
What is most of your blood made of?
blood cells
Which one of the following possess the most prominent Golgi apparatus - islets of langerhans or retinal rod cell or spermatogonium or striated muscle or xylem tracheid?
Iselts of Langerhans Cells. That is because the Golgi apparatus is usually prominent in secretory cells.
