The glucose (simplest form of sugar) made by the leaves through photosynthesis (process at which plants make food) got "stuck" as the phloem (food-carrying tube) is cut away and glucose could not be transported to below the part which the phloem was cut. Water from the roots would still flow to all plant parts as the xylem (water-carrying tubes) were not cut away. Hope this is useful! =)

What two things does the vascular system in plants transport to cells in the leaf?
I believe that would be xylem and phloem.
What part of the plant carries sugar from the leafs to the rest of the plants parts?
It is the phloem. The stem connects all the plant parts. And in the stem are two kinds of tubes: the xylem and the phloem. The xylem transports water and mineral salts from the roots to the rest of the plant. The phloem transports food from the leaves to the rest of the plant. Sugar is considered to be food for plants and therefore the answer is the phloem. If you need not specific details, the stem would be an okay answer.
What would happen if plants would have the same roots?

In a cold winter the phloem cells are damagedhow would the role of phloem be affected in this type of weather?
Sunny winter days cause the phloem cells to lose cold hardiness. Plants warm up during the day, and are susceptible to damage at night when the temperature drops. Losing cold hardiness leads to sun scald and bud and stem death.
What would happen to living things if there were no soil?
the plants will not get the soil and without the plants humanbeings can't live

What would happen to plants nutrition if plants did not have roots?
what would happen to plants nutrition if plants did not have roots
Plants do not have a circulatory system like that of some animals if a given water molecule did circulate it would require A xylem B phloem C endodermis D xylem and endodermis E xylem and phloem?
E. xylem and phloem
If the xylem or phloem were damaged what would happen to the plant?
If all the xylem and phloem were not destroyed parts of the plant may survive but others would die, but eventually the whole plant would die because of lack of nutrients. If the xylem and phloem were all destroyed when the plant would die as it would receive no water or nutrients it needs.

What will happen to the plant if it does not have the phloem tube?
Then the pollen would not be able to reach the ovule therefore it will not be able to make a seed
What would happen if Bilbo did not answer a riddle correctly from The Hobbit?
He would be eaten by Gollum

What would happen if there was no air for the plants?
They would die
What would happen if you cross pollinate pea plants?
You get pea plants.
What would happen if the plants were not fertilized?
There would be no more plants if they were not fertilized. Fertilization is necessary for reproduction.
If the xylem of a young tree is damagedwhich process is first affected?
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.
