What is the transportation in plant and animals

Answer» Transportation in animals is the combined effort of the circulatory system, and the excretory system.\tBlood is the fluid that flows in the blood vessels and transports the digested food from the small intestine to various parts of the body.\tThere are two types of blood vessels- arteries and veins. The arteries carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to different parts of the body and the oxygen-deficit blood is transported through the veins from all parts of the body to the heart.\tThe heart is the main organ that pumps blood throughout the body.\tThe process of removal of waste out of the cells is called excretion.\tThe nitrogenous waste, excess sugar in the blood, excess salts, undigested wastes, and carbon dioxide are the substances to be excreted from the body.\tThe lower organisms like amoeba, hydra, paramecium excrete the nitrogenous waste by the process of diffusion through the cell membrane, as they lack special excretory organs.\tThe\xa0human excretory system\xa0constitutes kidneys, ureter, urinary bladder, urethra.\tKidneys are the main excretory organ which regulates the balance of water and minerals in the body. They absorb minerals in the blood and eliminate the nitrogenous waste from the blood in the form of urine.It is an important process to circulate water, essential nutrients, gases, and excretory products within the plant for various purposes. The vascular tissues are responsible for transportation in plants. The suction force helps in the transportation of water and minerals in the plant.\tXylem is a vascular tissue involved in the conduction of water from root hairs to the rest of the plant parts.\tThe transportation in the phloem is bidirectional. The food molecules are transported to the necessary regions with the help of phloem.\tThe root hairs absorb water and minerals from the soil and store it in vacuoles. This water is absorbed by the plants by the suction force.\tThe excess water in the plants is lost in the form of water vapour through the stomata in the leaves. This process is known as\xa0transpiration.\tThe prepared food substances are translocated to different organs of the plant through the phloem. The excess food is stored in the storage organs of the plant.
