What plant organ holds up the leaves of the plant?
STEMS, like leaves, are plants organs. xylem and phloem are in the roots, stem, and leaves. XYLEM is the tissue are tubes that carry materials from the roots to the leaves. PHLOEM is tubes that carry sugar away from the leaves.
What does vascular plants mean?
This means the plant has vascular tissue, Xylem and phloem, to carry water, nutrients and manufactured sugar throughout the plant. This also means with the water this plant circulates internally that the plant can maintain a turgid condition ( stiff from water pressure ) throughout the plant and can then erect itself in a standing position.
What is sugar made out of?
Sugar cane is a type of plant that is grown and then harvested into sugar. Sugar cane is a sub-tropical crop of tall plants with very thick stems. The stems are harvested and they are crushed in order to extract the sweet juice. The juice is purified and the water content is boiled off. Eventually the process reaches a stage when sugar crystals grow. The results are a brown raw sugar that resembles the sweet brown sugar used to make baked goods.
How do the minerals are absorbed and reach to all parts of the plants?
Stem is the only one that will transport the water,food,mineral salts and sugar(food) to all parts of the plant. Because of stems,the water and mineral salts get to the leaves and other parts of a plant.
What happens to the sugar produced in the leaves of a plant?
it is changed to starch before it can be stored in the leaves,stems,or roots.

Is there a decorative garden plant like sugar cane with thick stems and green and purple leaves with stems said to be a source of sugar and edible like sugar cane?
Why not just plant sugar cane? It will come up year after year even after a freeze. Old varieties like blue ribbon are the best.

How do plants transport sugar from the leaves to the rest of the plant?
glucose moves around the plant by special tubes running through the stem and to the leaves
How is sugar extracted from sugar cane?
The sugar cane stems are cut and taken to the processing plant where they are crushed. During crushing, a liquid if forced out of the stems. The liquid is separated from the remains of the crushed stems by a machine which spins the mixture. During the spinning, the solid stems stay in the machine and the liquid is spun out through holes, rather like the spin cycle of a washing machine. The liquid spun out of this machine is removed and taken to a different part of the plant where it is heated. During this process, water disappears and crystals of sugar form.The waste plant material left after the extraction of sugar used to be disposed of by burning, a process that produced a great deal of polluting smoke, solid particles and carbon dioxide. Today, much of this waste material is being used to produce useful ethanol and polymers (plastics).

What do phloem tubes carry?
Phloem transports sugars from the photosynthetic process to the rest of the plant.

What is the function of twigs in a tree?
They act as stems in a non woody plant. They contain Xylem and phloem to transport sugar and assimilates up and down the plant between the source and sink.
What part of the plant produces food?
The Chloroplasts. They are oval structures inside the plant's cells in the leaves and stems. They use water, light energy (sunlight) and carbon dioxide to produce sugar which they use as food. The chloroplasts contain a green pigment called Chlorophyll which absorbs the sunlight. This method that the plants use to make food is called Photosynthesis.
