Explain the transport of food and other substances in plants |
|
Answer» The transportation of food from the leaves to other parts of the plant occurs in the vascular tissue, namely the phloem . This process of transporting food is known as translocation. Translocation in plants occur from regions of excess carbohydrates, primarily mature leaves to regions where it is required through the phloem. The energy rich carbon compounds formed during the process of photosynthesis are transported out of the leaf to other organs & tissues. Food is transported by phloem and water and mineral transported by xylem |
