Answer 1

Phloem Definition

Phloem is the complex tissue, which acts as a transport system for soluble organic compounds within vascular plants.

Function of Phloem

Through the system of translocation, the phloem moves photoassimilates, mainly in the form of sucrose sugars and proteins, from the leaves where they are produced by photosynthesisto the rest of the plant.

The sugars are moved from the source, usually the leaves, to the phloem through active transport. The next step, translocation of the photoassimilates, is explained by the pressure flow hypothesis.
