What is the significant difference between Xylem and Phloem, and also there locations in the plant?

Answer 1

Xylem transports water and ions.
Phloem transports sugar/food (dissolved in water but more like syrup)

Generally located right next to each other with the specific arrangement being determined by the part of the plant and what type of plant. They are the plants circulatory system so they go almost everywhere (stem, root, leaves)

Answer 2

Xylem can only conduct fluid up, phloem can move fluid up or down. Xylem loading and unloading is a passive (no ATP) process while phloem loading/unloading requires ATP. In dicots, the phloem is directly under the bark, next is the cambium (meristem), and the "wood" is all xylem. In monocots, xylem and phloem tissues are bundled together and scattered throughout the stem (check the stem on a palm tree).

Answer 3

xylem transports water and mineral salts to leaves for photosynthesis, phloem transports photosynthate to plant parts for respiration and storage. xylem especially in woody dicot stems is hard wood. a phloem ring is closer to the epidermis though only separated from an inner ring of xylem by the cambium layer. phloem bleeds sap when you scrape a tree bark. in monocots, they are more or less spread about the stem.

Answer 4

xylem is dead tissue conducts waterand dissolvedminerals from roots to all branches . phloem is living tissue(with nucleus) and conducts prepared food from leaves to all parts of plant.both are located deep inside the plant in vascular bundles.

phloem transports nutrients, xylem transports water.

Answer 6

there is no difference and they aren't anywhere other than in the wonderful land of Wonderland
