Compare structure & function of xylem and phloem. |
| Back |
Similarities:- Both transport materials around plant
- Both made up of cells joined end to end forming long hollow structures
Differences: - Xylem largely non-living tissue, phloem living
- Xylem transports water & mineral ions, phloem transports organic solutes around plant
- Xylem flow of materials from roots to shoots and leaves, phloem flow of material up and down
- Xylem cell walls lignified, phloem cell walls not
