Question

3. Describe how substances get transported within a plant body.

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Plants absorb mineral nutrients and water from the soil. ... The food has to be transported to all parts of the plant. This is done by the vascular tissue called the phloem. Thus, xylem and phloem transport substances in plants.

Answer 2

Transport system in plants

Transport in biology means carrying substance absorbed or made in the body of an organism to all other parts of its body.

In plants, it is only water and minerals that need to be transported to its other parts. Another thing that needs to be transported to other parts of the plants is the food prepared in leaves. This is because a plant has a branching shape so it gets carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and oxygen for respiration from air directly through diffusion.

The two types of conducting tissues that perform the function of transport system in plants are:

1) Xylem

2) Phloem

Transport of water and minerals

Plants need water to make food through the process of photosynthesis and minerals for making proteins. Thus, a plant absorbs water and minerals from soil through roots and transport it other parts like stem, leaves, flowers etc. It is through two kinds of elements of xylem tissue called, xylem vessels and tracheid that water and minerals move from roots of a plant to its leaves.
