Question 602 Marks

Name the different types of elements found in the xylem.

Answer

Xylem is composed of cells of four different types:

  1. Tracheids.
  2. Vessels or tracheae.
  3. Xylem parenchyma.
  4. Xylem Sclerenchyma.

Except xylem parenchyma, all other xylem elements are dead and bounded by thick lignified walls. Vessels are shorter and wider than tracheids. Vessels are very long tube-like structures formed by a row of cells placed end to end. Tracheids are elongated cells with tapering ends. They also conduct water.

Question 662 Marks

Explain different types of elements present in phloem.

Answer

The different types of elements present in the phloem are:

  1. Sieve tubes: Sieve tubes are slender, tube-like structures composed of elongated thin-walled cells, placed end to end. Their end walls are perforated by numerous pores and are called sieve plates.

  2. Companion cells: It is a small thin-walled cell containing dense and very active cytoplasm and large elongated nucleus.

  3. Phloem parenchyma: These are thin-walled, living cells of parenchyma of phloem. They have two functions, storage and slow lateral conduction of food.

  4. Phloem Fibre: These are thick-walled, elongated spindled shaped dead cells which posses narrow lumen. They provide mechanical strength to the tissue.
