Because the function of the phloem in plants is to transport sugars to the roots if the phloem of a plant was destroyed the first affected process would be transporting sugars to the roots.

A plant grows in soil that has been contaminated with toxins. Through which structure would the toxins first spread into the plant?
Xylem
How does phloem and xylem work in flowers?
Xylem carries water up from the roots to the leaves for the process of photosynthesis. Phloem carries the food/nutrients down to the roots.
Is xylem stem monocot?
The xylem is responsible for the transport of water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves. In the leaf, the xylem continues this transport to the cells in the leaf to ensure that enough water is present for photosynthesis to occur.
What causes the movement of material through xylem and phloem?
After the process of photosynthiss, the plant needs a wat to take in the food so the xylem is then caused to transport water\nutrients to the roots.
What are xylem and ploem?
Protoxylem is the first part of the primary vascular tissue in plants called xylem that matures. Its function is to transport water to the shoot in the early stages of the growth of the plant.Metaxylem is a part of primary xylem that differentiates after the protoxylem.
What is the mechanism of water movement through the xylem?
transpiration is the process that moves substances through the xylem
What happened in the process called transpiration?
Well the process is that the xylem use water to do tranpiration
What is the Process by which food and water is carried through a plant?
Xylem
What are the two vascular tissues found in the root and stem systems?
Xylem and Phloem Xylem-transports water from the roots Phloem-transports food from the process of photosynthesis through other parts of the plant

What is the first structure by which toxins enter plants growing in contaminated soils?
The first structures by which toxins enter plants growing in contaminated soils is the xylem.

What is a woody tissue of a plant?
