There is a special tissue inside a plant's stem called xylem that consists of cells that are essentially tiny straws that pull water from the plant's roots up to the leaves. It is mostly dead tissue at maturity.
Then there is phloem, which carries sugars created by photosynthesis from the leaves down to the roots. It is alive.
The phloem is the plant structure responsible for transporting sugars, such as glucose, from the leaves to the rest of the plant. This vascular tissue forms a network of tubes that allows for the bidirectional flow of nutrients and sugars throughout the plant.
The protein that carries oxygen to muscles is called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is found in red blood cells and binds to oxygen in the lungs, then transports it to tissues and muscles throughout the body.
The washing away of nutrients from the soil is called leaching. This process occurs when water carries soluble nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus downwards through the soil layers, making them unavailable for plants to uptake. Leaching can lead to nutrient depletion in the topsoil, impacting plant growth and productivity.
True. Plants with tubes to transport water and nutrients are called vascular plants. These tubes are known as xylem (for water) and phloem (for nutrients) and allow for efficient distribution of resources throughout the plant.
Plants in the rainforest derive nutrients from the rich, organic soil on the forest floor. They also benefit from the rapid cycling of nutrients in the ecosystem due to decomposition of organic matter by fungi and bacteria. Additionally, some plants have adapted symbiotic relationships with fungi or bacteria to help them obtain essential nutrients.
Tiny purple demons!
the xylem carries minerals and water and sugar.
The roots of the plant absorb water and nutrients from the soil. The xylem, a type of tissue in the plant, carries these materials upward from the roots to the rest of the plant, including the stem, leaves, and flowers.
Arterial blood carries oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. It is pumped from the heart to the rest of the body via the arteries.
Your blood carries everything that your body needs to live throughout your life. Such as nutrients.
carries water and other nutrients throughout the plant.

A plants vascular system is a transport system. Vascular plants have two different types xylem and phloem. Xylem carries water and minerals up from the roots of the plant. Phloem transports sugars and organic nutrients throughout the plant.

Xylem and phloem. The xylem transports water and soluble mineral nutrients from the roots throughout the plant. The phloem is the living tissue that carries organic nutrients.
