Question

define transportation of substances in plant

Answer 1

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
