Question

how is food transported in plants​

Answer 1

Answer:

The phloem tissue in plants transportsfood materials from the leaves to different parts of the plant. The transportation of food in phloem is achieved by utilizing energy from ATP. As a result, the osmotic pressure in the tissue increases forcing the water to move through it.

Answer 2

$\bf{\underbrace{Answer:}}$

✰ The transport of food in plants is called translocation.

✰ It takes place with the help of a conducting tissues called phloem.

✰ Phloem transports glucose, amino acid and other substances from leaves to root, shoot, fruits and seeds.

✰ Sieve tube the companion cells help in transporting the food in upward and downward directions.

✰ Sucrose like materials are transported using energy from ATP, and osmotic pressure, which is caused due to water.

✰ This pressure moves the material in the phloem to tissues which have leaves have less pressure.

✰ This pressure helps in the movement of material in plants.
