Because sugar is transported through phloem and water is transported through xylem.

∙ 12y agoThe path that water moves through is from the soil, to the roots, to the stem's xylem, then upward yo the leaves. The path that sugar takes is from the leaves (because the plant's food is made in the leaves), to the the stem's ploem, down to the rest of the plant.

Do vascular seed plants with flowers contain xylem and phloem to transport water and food?
Yes. Vascular plants can use xylem to transport water and phloem to transport sugar and mineral.
What are the five basic characteristics of plants?
Plants have roots and shoots. Plants have reproductive organs. Plants convert sunlight to energy. Plants have stems to transport water and sugar to all parts of the plant. Plants have cell walls.
How does the environment affect the transport of water in plants?
Suny warm days favour more transport of water in plants
Do plants have to be alive to transport water?
must plant be alive to transport water
What is the function of transport tubes in a plant cell?
there are two types of transporting tubes in plants : Xylem-It transports the water from the roots to other parts of plant. Phloem-It transports the prepared food from the leaves to other parts of plant.It translocates the food
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
What structure in vascular plants transport sugar?
Phloem transport sugars, Xylem transports water
Do vascular seed plants with flowers contain xylem and phloem to transport water and food?
Yes. Vascular plants can use xylem to transport water and phloem to transport sugar and mineral.
How do non vascular plants and vascular plants differ?
Vascular plants can transport water throughout themselves and non-vascular plants lack tissues that give them that ability.
