Question

Water and minerals transported to the leaves by the

Answer 1

Answer:

Xylem

Explanation:

In a plant, the stem consists of vascular tissues bundles which are responsible for the transportation in the plants. One of them is xylem which is responsible for the transportation of water and minerals to the other parts of the plant. The xylem tissue travels around the whole plant with the required water and minerals and deliver it to the leaves.

The vascular system extends from the roots through the stem and continues up to the leaves. In the leaves it is clearly seen as a pattern of veins. Water and minerals are transported from the roots upwards through the xylem tubes. Phloem transports synthesized food from the leaves to the rest of the plant body.

Answer 2

Answer:

water and minerals are transported to the leaves through roots

Explanation:

Water is continuously being lost from the leaves by the process of transpiration (loss of water vapour from the stomata of leaves). This creates a low pressure and a pulling force results which pulls up the water and minerals from roots. In this way, water and minerals are transported to different parts of the plant.
