  2. Tracheid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracheid

    Angiosperms have both tracheids and vessel elements. [1] A tracheid is a long and tapered lignified cell in the xylem of vascular plants. It is a type of conductive cell called a tracheary element. Angiosperms use another type of conductive cell, called vessel elements, to transport water through the xylem.

  3. Vessel element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vessel_element

    The presence of vessels in xylem has been considered to be one of the key innovations that led to the success of the flowering plants. It was once thought that vessel elements were an evolutionary innovation of flowering plants, but their absence from some basal angiosperms and their presence in some members of the Gnetales suggest that this hypothesis must be re-examined; vessel elements in ...

  4. Xylem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylem

    The other type of vascular element, found in angiosperms, is the vessel element. Vessel elements are joined end to end to form vessels in which water flows unimpeded, as in a pipe. The presence of xylem vessels (also called trachea [30]) is considered to be one of the key innovations that led to the success of the angiosperms. [31]

  6. Lignin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lignin

    Lignin fills the spaces in the cell wall between cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin components, especially in vascular and support tissues: xylem tracheids, vessel elements and sclereid cells. [citation needed] Lignin plays a crucial part in conducting water and aqueous nutrients in plant stems.

  7. Vascular plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_plant

    Xylem elements in the shoot of a fig tree (Ficus alba), crushed in hydrochloric acid. Water and nutrients in the form of inorganic solutes are drawn up from the soil by the roots and transported throughout the plant by the xylem. Organic compounds such as sucrose produced by photosynthesis in leaves are distributed by the phloem sieve-tube ...

  8. Why OPEC's grip on oil markets will continue to weaken in 2025

    www.aol.com/why-opecs-grip-oil-markets-193512699...

    OPEC+ faces a major oil oversupply in 2025, challenging production increases. The coalition has tried to boost oil prices by holding back output. Instead, members are ceding control to non-OPEC ...

  9. Plant secretory tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_secretory_tissue

    Also called "articulate latex ducts", these ducts or vessels are the result of anastamosis of many cells. They grow more or less as parallel ducts which by means of branching and frequent anastomoses form a complex network. Latex vessels are commonly found in many angiosperm families Papaveraceae, Compositae, Euphorbiaceae, Moraceae, etc.
