Name the conducting tissue in plants which made of (a) living cells, and (b) dead cells.

Academic Biology NCERT Class 10

(a) Phloem is made up of living cells. They carry materials (food) upward and downwards from the leaves to all parts of the plant.

(b) Xylem is made up of dead cells. They carry materials (water and minerals) only upwards from roots to all parts of the plant.

The transport system in plants consists of two kinds of tissues X, Y. The tissue X is made up of living cells and consists of two components A and B. The component A has tiny pores in its end walls and contains only cytoplasm but no nucleus. On the other hand, component B has cytoplasm as well as nucleus. The tissue Y is made up of dead cells and consists of two components C and D. The component C has open ends whereas component D does not have open ends. In flowering plants, either only C or both C and D transport water but D is the only water conducting tissue in non-flowering plants.(a) What is (i) tissue X (ii) component A, and (iii) component B ?(b) What is (i) tissue Y (ii) component C, and (iii) component D ?

Difference Between T Cells and B Cells
Water and dissolved minerals get into the root hair of a plant by a process called A and enter the conducting tissue B. The process C helps the water and dissolved minerals to move up through the tissue B in roots and stem, and reach the leaves of a plant . In the leaves food is made by a process D. This food is then transported to all the parts of a plant through tissue E. The process of distributing food made in the leaves to all the parts of the plant is called F.(a)What are (i) A (ii) B (iii) C (iv) D (v) E, and (vi) F ?(b) Which tissue is made up of living cells : B or E ?(c) Which tissue, B or E, contains sieve tubes ?(d) Which tissue, B or E, contains tracheids ?
