Q9) Listing out the differences between xylem and phloem.

Answer:

Solution:

Xylem	Phloem
Xylem is the complex tissue of plants, responsible for transporting water and other nutrients to the plants.	Phloem is living tissue, responsible for transporting food and other organic materials.
Xylem consists of dead cells (parenchyma is the only living cells present in the xylem).	Pholem mainly contains living cells (fibres are the but dead cells in the phloem).
They comprise of xylem vessels, fibre and tracheids.	They comprise of phloem fibres, sieve tubes, sieve cells, phloem parenchyma and companion cells.
Xylem is located in the middle of the vascular packet, deep in the plant.	Phloem is located on the outer side of the vascular packet.
Their motility is unidirectional.	Their move is bidirectional.
Xylem transports merely minerals and waters from the roots	Phloem transports food materials that are prepared past the green parts of the plants to other parts of the constitute.
Provide mechanical support.	Does not provide mechanical back up.
Xylem is the dead tissue at maturity, but no cell contents.	Phloem is the living tissue, but not with the nucleus.
Xylem ofttimes constitutes the bulk of the constitute body.	Phloem forms a small part of the plant body.
In xylem, the conducting cells or tracheary cells are expressionless.	In phloem, the conducting cells are living.

"hi everyone welcome to lido learning the question given here is list out the differences between xylem and flower okay so we have to find the difference between xylem and fluorine vessels equally we know xylem and flowing vessels are the vascular tissues that are present in the plant for the conduction of water and minerals as well as the prepared food okay so nosotros'll become through each point of difference between xylem and fluorine the beginning point is that xylem is a complex tissue of plants and it is responsible for transporting water and other nutrients to plants okay then what well-nigh phloem phloem is a leaving tissue again of plants right and it is responsible for what transporting which is responsible for transporting the food food and other organic materials okay then first first is first difference is that xylem is a complex tissue and information technology is responsible for the ship of water and minerals whereas phloem is a living tissue responsible for the trans for transporting food and other organic materials now xylem it mainly consists of expressionless cells and the only living cell is called parenchyma the but living jail cell in the silent category okay so information technology mainly consists of dead cells whereas phloem it mainly consists of leaving cells okay and the name of 1 expressionless cell just dead cell is that information technology is fiber fibers are the merely expressionless cell among the fluorim vessels all right so now moving on to the tertiary indicate the xylem tissue consists of or it comprises of xylem vessels fiber and brackets whereas fluid it comprises of phloem phloem fibers then sieve tubes run across sorry see if cells are in that location and so period m parenchyma which is also present for the asylum right and companion cells then these are the different parts of phloem tissue all right now moving on to the quaternary point the location the silo vessels are located at the center of the vascular bundle okay and then that is the location of the xylem missiles or the aviary as a whole now the for the flowing it is located at the outer edge located on the outer side of the vascular body so the centre portion is asylum and the outer side portion is a fluid yeah yeah at present next signal the movement inside of muscles the motion is unidirectional for the silent vessels it volition be moving only in the upward management for silent message whereas for phloem motion is bidirectional information technology is non necessary that for uh your the silent muscles it it is going in the upwardly direction asylum particular silent vessel will be moved the movement volition be in but i direction can be upward or downward simply merely in 1 direction whereas for a blossom the motility is always bidirectional okay and adjacent one cylon vessels they provide mechanical support for the institute varys is flowing vessels they do not provide mechanical support okay now moving on to the last part final point is that the silo vessels constitutes bulk of the plant torso okay so the found bodies major part consists of the cyan muscles whereas a phloem forms a modest part of the plant what all right so these are the basic difference betwixt uh the silo vessels and phloem vessels all right and so we tin see around seven to eight points here so i hope you lot understood this and if you have whatever uncertainty in this please comment beneath and do subscribe to this channel for getting regular updates thank you"
