what are the similarities between plant transport system and human circulatory system?
433434
Both systems are similar in that they are both made up of a vast array of tubes. Humans have arteries, capillaries, and veins to move materials through the system, and plants have xylem and phloem to do the same thing. Both systems are moving a combination of liquids and solids.

Cardiovascular System. The primary function of the heart and blood vessels is to transport oxygen, nutrients, and byproducts of metabolism.

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. ... Phloem is responsible for transporting food produced from photosynthesis from leaves to non-photosynthesizing parts of a plant such as roots and stems.

Compared to humans, plants have a single large vacuole, which is centrally located. ... This is the most significant difference among plants and humans because humans do not contain chloroplasts. Plants are capable of making their own food, while humans depend on other living things for survival.

The cardiovascular system can be thought of as the transport system of the body. This system has three main components: the heart, the blood vessel and the blood itself. The heart is the system's pump and the blood vessels are like the delivery routes.

Xylem. The xylem transports water and minerals from the roots up the plant stem and into the leaves. In a mature flowering plant or tree, most of the cells that make up the xylem are specialised cells called vessels.

A vascular bundle is a part of the transport system in vascular plants. The transport itself happens in vascular tissue, which exists in two forms: xylem and phloem. Both these tissues are present in a vascular bundle, which in addition will include supporting and protective tissues.

They use two different systems - xylem moves water and mineral ions from the roots to the leaves - phloem moves food substances such as sucrose (sugar) and amino acids from leaves to the rest of the plant. This movement of food is called translocation .

Within vascular plants is the phloem, the vessel that transports food, and the xylem, which transports water. Nonvascular plants are small, simple plants without a vascular system. They do not have a phloem or xylem.

Plants have a specialized organelle called chloroplasts. This cellular structure enables plants to derive its energy source from sunlight through a process called photosynthesis. This is the most significant difference among plants and humans because humans do not contain chloroplasts.

The cardiovascular and lymphatic are both integral parts of the circulatory system. The cardiovascular system basically moves blood throughout the body. While the lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system, comprising a network of conduits called lymphatic vessels. ... The lymph system is not a closed system.

Xylem transports and stores water and water-soluble nutrients in vascular plants. Phloem is responsible for transporting sugars, proteins, and other organic molecules in plants. Vascular plants are able to grow higher than other plants due to the rigidity of xylem cells, which support the plant.

The main difference between vascular and nonvascular plants is that a vascular plant has vascular vessels to carry water and food to all the different parts of the plant. ... Instead, a nonvascular plant has rhizoids, small hairs that keep the plant in place.

Main function – upwards water transport. The xylem, vessels and tracheids of the roots, stems and leaves are interconnected to form a continuous system of water-conducting channels reaching all parts of the plants. The system transports water and soluble mineral nutrients from the roots throughout the plant.

Xylem is a type of tissue in vascular plants that transports water and some nutrients from the roots to the leaves. Phloem is the other type of transport tissue; it transports sucrose and other nutrients throughout the plant.

Transport in plants and the structure of specialised plant cells. ... They use two different systems - xylem moves water and mineral ions from the roots to the leaves - phloem moves food substances such as sucrose (sugar) and amino acids from leaves to the rest of the plant. This movement of food is called translocation .

The main parts of the system are the heart, arteries, capillaries and veins. The circulatory system does a very important job in your body. It carries oxygen and essential nutrients to all cells around the body in arteries and carries the waste products and carbon dioxide in veins.
