Which of the following comparisons of xylem and phloem is FALSE? Xylem is dead when it is functional, but phloem cells are living. Primary xylem and phloem cells originate in the procambium. In vascular bundles, xylem cells are generally larger in diameter than phloem cells. Xylem cells are separated from phloem cells in roots, with xylem in a bundle on the inside of the root and phloem in a ring around the root exterior. Where would you find endodermis cells with the waxy Casparian strip? surrounding the vascular bundle at the center of a root on the exterior of the plant stems and leaves inside the vascular bundle at the center of a root surrounding the vascular bundles in stems

Adi S.
Matching: A tissue system that typically works in storage or photosynthesis. A conducting cell type of the xylem that has pits, is tapered at each end, and is dead at maturity. A meristem that grows the plant vertically. A modified stem. A tissue from which lateral roots arise. A layer of cells surrounding the vascular cylinder in roots and regulates what enters the xylem. Secondary phloem is part of ______. The vascular cambium produces this tissue to the "inside" of a stem or root. The conducting cell type of the phloem. The oldest part of a tree branch is found...
