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 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 two things does the vascular system in plants transport to cells in the leaf?

The vascular system in plants transports water and nutrients to cells in the leaf. Water is essential for photosynthesis and nutrient uptake, while nutrients such as sugars and minerals are required for various cellular functions.


What would happen if the earth had no plants?

If the Earth had no plants, it would have serious consequences. Plants play a crucial role in producing oxygen, regulating the climate, and providing food and habitats for animals. Without plants, the balance of ecosystems would be disrupted, leading to a decline in biodiversity and potentially causing widespread environmental problems.


What would happen if the position of the xylem and phloem were reversed in a persimmon tree?

Depends on your plant and its size. In dicots, the xylem in the interior of the stem becomes "heartwood" as the plant gets bigger, and in this state helps hold up the tree. Reversing xylem and phloem in this situation would give you a plant without heartwood and therefore not able to grow to a large size. In monocots, no problem. Monocots have "vascular bundles" which have both xylem and phloem; these occur throughout the stem.


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.

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.

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.
