Xylemis formed of thick-walled,tubular and often dead cells.The cells are placed end to end like drain pipes ,and the partitions between the cell dissolve to form long pipelines for the transport of water and minerals. Xylem cells transport water and minerals absorbed by the roots from the soil. They transport them to leaves where glucose is prepared during photosynthesis. Old Xylem forms wood and does not participate in transport.

What is a woody tissue of a plant?
Xylem
What is the function of the vascular tissue xylem?
The fumction is to carry water and nutrients to the top of the plant from the roots
What tissues is found in the veins of the plants?
Xylem and phloem, they are two types of vascular tissue.
How many types of elements together make up the xylem tissue?
In Angiosperms , it is xylem vessels ( proto and meta xylem together ) , Xylem sclerenchyma and xylem parenchyma ; together form Xylem tissue ( That is why xylem is called a compound tissue ). In Gymnosperms , xylem vessels are replaced by Xylem tracheids . All other tings are almost the same .
What are the two different types of vascular tissue?
Phloem and xylem are the two main types of vascular tissue found in plants. Xylem is the tissue that mainly carries water, and a few minerals, in the system. Phloem is the tissue that carries photosynthetic materials through the plant.
What level of organization is xylem classified?
Xylem is classified as a tissue
What is the main function of xylem tissue in the plant transport system?
The main function of xylem within a plant is to transport water and minerals from the roots up to the actual plant itself.
What is a woody tissue of a plant?
Xylem
Does xylem conducts sugar solution?
No, xylem's main function is to carry water up from the roots. Phloem is the tissue which carries the sugar solution.
What is the function of the vascular tissue xylem?
The fumction is to carry water and nutrients to the top of the plant from the roots
What is the function of vasclurized?
If you mean vascular tissue, the vascular tissue carries xylem tissues, which carries water and minerals throughout a plant.
What tissues is found in the veins of the plants?
Xylem and phloem, they are two types of vascular tissue.
How many types of elements together make up the xylem tissue?
In Angiosperms , it is xylem vessels ( proto and meta xylem together ) , Xylem sclerenchyma and xylem parenchyma ; together form Xylem tissue ( That is why xylem is called a compound tissue ). In Gymnosperms , xylem vessels are replaced by Xylem tracheids . All other tings are almost the same .
What is the tissue that makes xylem and phloem?
The vascular cambium tissue makes xylem and phloem.
What types of plants have the least amount of xylem tissue?
Tulips have the least amount of xylem tissue.
What are xylem and ploem?
Protoxylem is the first part of the primary vascular tissue in plants called xylem that matures. Its function is to transport water to the shoot in the early stages of the growth of the plant.Metaxylem is a part of primary xylem that differentiates after the protoxylem.
What tissue is wood made from?
xylem tissue
