Answer 2

$\huge\mathscr{\underline{\underline{Answer:-}}}$

1. Water and minerals are transported by the xylem vessels.

These are always in fascinated mode and are non-living, long tube which runs like a drainpipe throughout the plant.

Furthermore, either only xylem vessels transport water or it along with tracheids transport water in the flowering plants

2. Food is transported via phloem vessels.

These are always in active mode and carries hormones as well which are made by the plants in their shoot as well as root tips and are made of many cells that are joined end to end to form long tubes.

The movement of transportation of food from leaf or the photosynthetic area to other parts of the plant according to the concentration gradient is called translocation.
