Xylem is different from phloem structurally and functionally.
Xylem consists of Tracheids, vessels and xylem parenchyma whereas phloem consists of Sieve tubes, companion cells and phloem parenchyma.
Xylem conducts water and minerals to the leaves whereas phloem transports the prepared food from leaves to different parts of plant body.

Phloem is responsible for transporting sugars and other nutrients produced by the plant through photosynthesis, primarily downwards from leaves to other parts of the plant. Xylem is responsible for transporting water and minerals absorbed by the roots upwards throughout the plant. Essentially, phloem transports food while xylem transports water and minerals.

How do pholem cells work?
A pholem is a tube that is made from living cells. Their function is to transport the glucose that is produced by photosysnthesis in the leaves to where it is needed. Pholem cells along with xylem cells produce vascular bundles.
Why is the difference between xylem and phloem important in a plant?
There is structural difference between xylem and phloem. This is because their function is also different. Had there been no difference in structure, how these could have performed different function?
What are the tissues responsiblefor transport in the stem?
phloem and xylem (sorry different countries spell/ call them differently.. xylem is normally the same but phloem can be phylem or any variation of the two)
How are moses different from other green plants?
They do not have stem,roots or leaves.No xylem or phloem.
What best describes the vascular system of a typical plant?
The different in vascular are the xylem and phloem
How is the xylem different from pholem?
Xylem is a one way flow
What are two different plant cells?
xylem and pholem
Do you capitalize xylem and pholem?
No, because xylem and phloem arenot propernouns.
What is the vascular tissue of a plant?
xylem-water pholem-food
What do the pholem and xylem make up in a stem?
Complex tissues
Does daffodils have xylem and pholem?
Xylem transports water and dissolved minerals and nutrients from the roots upward and throughout the plant. Pholem carries phytosynthate, primarily sugar, from the leaves to the other parts of the plant and down to the bulb. Vascular plants include clubmosses, horsetails, ferns, gymnosperms and angiosperms. Since daffodils are angiosperms (flowering plants) they they do have xylem and pholem.
How are hormones moved?
In animals,they are moved by blood mainly.In plants they are moved by xylem,pholem etc
Many wood stems have a layer of cells that separate the xylem from the pholem called the what?
cambium. and it doesnt just seperates between xylem and phloem, it creates them.
What are the jobs of the pholem and xylem?
the xylem moves water and minerals up the stem from roots to leaves and phloem moves food from the leaves to the rest of the plant it can transport food up and down in a plant.
What is a circulatory systems?
This would be the vascular plants vascular tissue. The xylem carries water from the roots to the leaves and the pholem carries manufactured sugars from the leaves to the places in the plant where the sugars are needed.
What is a plant system?
This would be the vascular plants vascular tissue. The xylem carries water from the roots to the leaves and the pholem carries manufactured sugars from the leaves to the places in the plant where the sugars are needed.
How do pholem and xylem help maintain homeostasis in plants?
Tissues are a group of similar cells that together carry out different functions. In the case of the plant stem, for example, there is phloem for transporting food, and xylem for transporting water and minerals. Tissues have specific functions.
