Answers
hey mate here is ur answer
the food in plants is transported through a system of vascular bundles called phloem
phloem transports food and this process is called translocation
phloem transports in both directions so it is called diffusion directional
hope this helps
Answer:
Explanation:
The phloem tissue in plants transports food 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. This pressure moves the materials in phloem to the tissues which have less pressure. This is helpful in moving materials according to the needs of the plant. For example, the food material such as sucrose is transported into the phloem tissue using the energy from ATP
