Generally speaking, and I add that because there are often exceptions; however, the phloem carries products made in the leaves down the stem or trunk to be stored in roots or otherwise in the lower parts of the plant. You can remember that in the phloem, products flow downward by gravity.
The leaves are the manufacturing parts of the plant. Although the phloem is carrying products down the stem or trunk all the time, in the fall of the year, the leaves stop producing sugars and the "sap" drains out of the upper parts of the plant or tree getting ready for winter.
The phloem is toward the outside of the stem or trunk which is why it is possible to tap into maple trees and get yummy maple syrup.

Are auxins transported in xylem or phloem?
Auxins are transported in the phloem, not the xylem.
Why does a plant's transport of sugar differ from it's transport of water?
Water is transported in Xylem vessels and sugar is transported in the phloem
How is food transported throughout a plant?
If by "food" you mean the product of photosynthesis, this is transported through the plant (from the leaves and green parts) by the Phloem vessels - this is generally in a downward direction. If by "food" you mean nutrients that are absorbed from the soil, these are absorbed in solution by the roots and then transported in an upward direction throughout the plant by the Xylem vessels
What are the sites that receive transported phloem saps?
the gladular leaves located at the bottom of the leaf
How are the sugars made in leaves transported in plants?
Sugar is transported through a plant by the "veins" in the plant called phloem. Xylem is the other transportation system that transports water.
Are auxins transported in xylem or phloem?
Auxins are transported in the phloem, not the xylem.
Why does a plant's transport of sugar differ from it's transport of water?
Water is transported in Xylem vessels and sugar is transported in the phloem
How food transport in plants?
food is transported through phloem....root get food through obsorbtion of water..then food is transported through a tissue name phloem
Which carbohydrate is transported around the plant?
Glucose is transported as sucrose. It is non reducing and readily soluble.
How are water and food transported in plants?
xylem and phloem
The way food are transported and processed?
through phloem
How is food transported throughout a plant?
If by "food" you mean the product of photosynthesis, this is transported through the plant (from the leaves and green parts) by the Phloem vessels - this is generally in a downward direction. If by "food" you mean nutrients that are absorbed from the soil, these are absorbed in solution by the roots and then transported in an upward direction throughout the plant by the Xylem vessels
A tissues transport water and sugar in plant is?
Water is transported through xylem. Sugars are transported though phloem.
How water and sucrose are transported in flowering plants?
in the xylem and phloem respectivly
Sugars and other organic compounds are transported thoughtout a seed plant by what?
The phloem
How does glucose leave and enter plants?
Glucose is transported through the plant's vascular system, specifically through the phloem.
What are the sites that receive transported phloem saps?
the gladular leaves located at the bottom of the leaf
