what is the difference between primary and secondary xylem and phloem?
155040
Xylem brings water up from the roots into the rest of the tree. Like phloem, primary xylem forms in primary growth, and secondary xylem forms in secondary growth. ... The secondary phloem is crushed and compacted, though nothing happens to the xylem except that it stops growing.

Xylem sap contains water, inorganic ions and a few organic chemicals. Phloem sap contains water and sugars.

In woody roots the vascular cambium (the lateral meristem that gives rise to secondary phloem and secondary xylem) originates in the pericycle as well as in the procambium; the procambium is the primary meristematic tissue between the primary phloem and xylem. The first cork cambium is a lateral meristem…

Xylem and Phloem are two different types of vascular tissues which are mainly involved in the transportation process. These tissues form a vascular bundle and these work together as a unit. The movement of xylem is unidirectional, while, the movement of phloem is bidirectional.

toward the inside are called secondary xylem, or wood, and those formed toward the outside of the cambium are called secondary phloem. The bark and the wood together constitute the secondary plant body of the tree.

Xylem and phloem. The xylem and the phloem make up the vascular tissue of a plant and transports water, sugars, and other important substances around a plant. ... One xylem and one phloem are known as a 'vascular bundle' and most plants have multiple vascular bundles running the length of their leaves, stems, and roots.

Bark is usually thinner than the woody part of the stem or root. Both inner bark (secondary phloem) and wood (secondary xylem) are generated by the vascular cambium layer of cells: bark toward the outside where the oldest layers may slough off, and wood toward the inside where it accumulates as dead tissue.

Water is transported upwards from roots to aerial parts of plants in xylem and food in phloem is transported in both upward and downward directions. Other than that, transport in xylem requires physical forces such as transpiration pull, however transport of food in phloem requires energy in the form of ATP.

Phloem and xylem are complex tissues that perform transportation of food and water in a plant. They are the vascular tissues of the plant and together form vascular bundles. They work together as a unit to bring about effective transportation of food, nutrients, minerals and water.

The xylem and phloem are generally found together in vascular bundles and can lie in various positions relative to each other. A collateral arrangment has xylem and phloem next to each other with phloem to the outside and xylem to the inside.

⭕️The main constituents of xylem are xylem tracheid, vessels and xylem parenchyma. ⭕️Here the main components are sieve tubes, companion cells and phloem parenchyma. ➖Xylem and Phloem consists of four different types of cells.

Xylem tissue is used mostly for transporting water from roots to stems and leaves but also transports other dissolved compounds. Phloem is responsible for transporting food produced from photosynthesis from leaves to non-photosynthesizing parts of a plant such as roots and stems.

Primary xylem is formed during primary growth from procambium. ... Metaxylem develops after the protoxylem but before secondary xylem. Metaxylem has wider vessels and tracheids than protoxylem. Secondary xylem is formed during secondary growth from vascular cambium.

During primary plant grow, xylem and phloem originate from the procambium meristem. Protoxylem and protophloem originate first at both the embryonary and postembryonary stages, but they are progressively replaced by metaxylem and metaphloem, which are the mature vascular system in organs that only show primary grow.

Unlike xylem (which is composed primarily of dead cells), the phloem is composed of still-living cells that transport sap. The sap is a water-based solution, but rich in sugars made by photosynthesis.
654903
Xylem and phloem arrange themselves in vas- cular bundles. Cutting a cross-section through stem usually shows the xylem on the inner side of the vascular bundle in a stem, while the phloem is found on the outer side of the vascular bundle.
