Simple sugars are considered carbohydrates, like starches are, and effects the blood sugar. The circulatory system is responsible for transporting the sugar through the body, first out of the digestive tract and then into the cells.
Phloem sugars are primarily transported from the leaves, where they are produced during photosynthesis, to various parts of the plant, including roots, stems, and developing fruits and seeds. This process, known as translocation, ensures that all parts of the plant receive the necessary carbohydrates for energy and growth. The flow of sugars in the phloem is bidirectional, allowing nutrients to be distributed according to the plant's needs.
Phloem (Sieve tubes)
The two main substances transported through phloem tissue are sugars (such as sucrose) and amino acids. These substances are transported from the leaves, where they are produced through photosynthesis or other metabolic processes, to other parts of the plant for growth and metabolism.
The vascular system of a plant, consisting of xylem and phloem, moves water, nutrients, and sugars to all plant parts. Water and minerals are transported from the roots to the rest of the plant through the xylem, while sugars produced during photosynthesis in the leaves are transported to all parts of the plant through the phloem.
The sieve tubes of the phloem cells help to transport sugars. The stem of the plant has a layer of cells called phloem. Part of the phloem is made of sieve tubes that permit the flow of sugars solution through the influence of fluid pressure differential. The phloem also contains companion cells for the sieve tubes which aid in the transport of sugars to these tubes.

Nutrients as in sugars (products of photosynthesis) such as Sucrose, are transported in the Phloem, and water is transported in the Xylem vessels
No, sugars from carbohydrate digestion are not transported through the lymphatic system. Instead, they are absorbed in the small intestine and transported directly into the bloodstream via the portal vein. This process allows the sugars, primarily in the form of glucose, to be quickly delivered to the liver and other tissues for energy. The lymphatic system primarily transports fats and fat-soluble substances, not carbohydrates.
water and sugars are transported in the xylem and phloem vessels of the plant
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.
Two sugars that can be absorbed by active transport are glucose and galactose. These sugars are actively transported across the intestinal epithelium lining for absorption into the bloodstream.

Most living things use sugars as a source of energy. Energy can be stored as fats or sugars, and it can be transported as those molecules as well.

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.
