explain the transportation of substances in plants.
Answers
Plants have tissues to transport water, nutrients and minerals. Phloem transports sucrose and amino acids up and down the plant. This is called translocation. In general, this happens between where these substances are made (the sources) and where they are used or stored (the sinks).
Answer:
Xylem and phloem
Plants have tissues to transport water, nutrients
and minerals.
Xylem transports water and mineral salts from
the roots up to other parts of the plant, while
phloem transports sucrose and amino acids
between the leaves and other parts of the plant.
Xylem
Mature xylem consists of elongated dead cells,
arranged end to end to form continuous vessels
(tubes).
