4 days ago · Phloem consists of sieve elements, companion cells, phloem sclerenchyma, and phloem parenchyma. Phloem parenchyma comprises parenchyma cells. It has a thin cell wall, large vacuole, a prominent nucleus, and a protoplast. Cambium: Cambium is a single layer of cells, which divide to produce secondary xylem cells toward the central axis of the ...
3 days ago · The Xylem Day Thread (May 26, 2024) Plants don’t have blood vessels, but they still require a transportation system to circulate water and nutrients around their bodies and remove waste. Instead they have xylem and phloem vessels which like the internet, are a series of tubes. They are both specialised to carry out their own particular ...
5 days ago · The cell wall of xylem is thick. The cell wall of phloem is thin. 4. The cell wall of xylem is made up of lignin. The cell wall of phloem is made up of cellulose. 5. It helps in the passive transport of water. It helps in the active transport of sugar and food. Note: Along with acting like a conducting tissue, xylem also provides the mechanical ...
5 days ago · The stems of three Impatiens species are composed of several layers, including the epidermis, cortex, phloem, cambium, xylem, and pith. Studies have demonstrated that plants with more developed pith and an increased number of vessels possess a greater capacity to store water [44, 45].
