Sugars produced in the leaves of trees are transported to the roots primarily through the phloem, a type of vascular tissue. The movement occurs via a process called translocation, where sugars are dissolved in water and move from areas of high concentration (the leaves) to areas of lower concentration (the roots) to support growth and energy needs. This process is essential for the overall health and functioning of the tree.
Sugars are produced in the chloroplasts of plant cells through photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are organelles found in the cells of plants that contain chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for capturing sunlight and converting it into energy.
Sugar is carried away from leaves through the phloem tissues. The phloem is a specialized vascular tissue that transports sugars, nutrients, and signaling molecules throughout the plant. Specifically, sugars produced during photosynthesis in the leaves are transported to other parts of the plant, such as storage organs or growing tissues, through the phloem.
The phloem cells are responsible for translocating dissolved sugars in plants through a process called translocation. These specialized cells form tubes that transport the sugars, mainly sucrose, from the leaves where they are produced through photosynthesis to other parts of the plant for energy or storage.
Food in the form of sugars is produced in the leaves of the onion plant through photosynthesis. These sugars provide the energy needed for growth and development of the plant. Onions themselves grow in the ground as bulbs, which store the nutrients and energy produced in the leaves.
The tissue in plants that moves sugars downward from the leaves is called phloem. Phloem is part of the vascular system and is responsible for the transport of organic nutrients, particularly sucrose, produced during photosynthesis. This movement occurs through a process known as translocation, where sugars are actively transported to various parts of the plant, including roots and growing tissues.

When a plant moves sugars from its leaves to its stems, the stems are considered the sink. A sink is any part of the plant that stores or uses the sugars produced during photosynthesis. In this case, the stems act as a storage or utilization site for the sugars transported from the leaves.
Food in the form of sugars is produced in the leaves of the onion plant through photosynthesis. These sugars provide the energy needed for growth and development of the plant. Onions themselves grow in the ground as bulbs, which store the nutrients and energy produced in the leaves.
Sugars produced in leaves during photosynthesis are transported through the plant in the phloem tissue. The sugars move in a process called translocation, which uses pressure gradients to move the sugars from the source (leaves) to the sink (such as roots, fruits, and other growing parts of the plant). This process is powered by energy from the plant and relies on specialized cells called sieve tubes in the phloem.
Water and dissolved minerals travel to the leaves of a plant, where the water is combined with carbon (from carbon dioxide) to form carbohydrates, as well as more complex chemicals and enzymes.
The stem transports water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves and flowers through the xylem. It also transports sugars produced during photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts of the plant through the phloem.
Translocation is the transport of sugars throughout the plant. The phloem is responsible for this, and has sieve tube members and companion cells that connect via the plasmodesmata in order to transport the sugars.

Sugars produced by plants are move through a process called translocation. This process involves the sugars being transported through phloem vessels, which are specialized tubes that transport nutrients within the plant. Energy for this movement is provided by the plant through various mechanisms such as active transport and pressure gradients.
