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.


Why does a plant's transport of sugar differ from it's transport of water?

A plant transports sugar through its phloem tissue using energy from photosynthesis. This process is called translocation. Water is transported through the xylem tissue via a process called transpiration, driven by evaporation and capillary action. These two systems are separate and serve different functions in the plant's overall health and growth.


Contrast the flow of materials in xylem and phloem?

Both are vascular tissues of the vascular plant. Xylem is dead, woody tissue mostly that transports water from the roots of the plant to the leaves. Phloem is vascular tissue that transports sugars manufactured by the plant to all the areas that need such sugars.


What are the two different types of vascular tissue?

Phloem and xylem are the two main types of vascular tissue found in plants. Xylem is the tissue that mainly carries water, and a few minerals, in the system. Phloem is the tissue that carries photosynthetic materials through the plant.


Which transported in the xylem of a plant?

The Xylem of a plant transports water and some nutrients.

Are the vascular tissue that conducts water and nutrients in a plant is phloem?

Yes...........Phloem is the tissue that transports sugar from leaves to all parts of the plant by the process called Translocation.


Is Xylem a vascular tissue that is alive transports sugar form the leaves of all parts of the plant or transport water and dissolved minerals from roots and stems to all parts of a plant?

xylem is active when it is dead and it transports water and dissolved minerals from roots to all parts of a plant phloem transports sugars


Is food a plant?

Vascular plants are plants that contain vascular tissue such as xylem and phloem. The xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant and the phloem transports food and nutrients such as sugar and amino acids. Some vascular plants are a part of your diet!


What is the Name of the tissue in which sugar produced in photosynthesis is carried to the parts of the plant?

The tissue responsible for transporting sugar produced in photosynthesis is called phloem. Phloem is a vascular tissue that serves as the plant's circulatory system, moving sugars and other nutrients throughout the plant.


What does the Phloem of a leaf do?

transports sugars


Plants pipes that transport sugar molecules?

The phloem tissue in plants is responsible for transporting sugar molecules, such as sucrose, from the leaves where they are produced through a system of sieve tubes to other parts of the plant. These sugar molecules are essential for providing energy for growth and metabolism in the plant.

What is the name of the tissue that transports sugars out of the leaves?

Sugar and nutrients are carried up through the phloem vessels.

How is xylem different from?

The basic function of Xylem is to transport water (and some soluble minerals) up from the roots and through the plant. Phloem transports organic nutrients - particularly sucrose (a sugar) - throughout the plant. Both are types of vascular tissue found in plants.


What do vascular tissues in plants do?

There are two types of vascular tissue that aid in transport and there are two substances that are transported. Xylem transports water and dissolved minerals and phloem transports sugar (sap).
