The food synthesized by leaves during photosynthesis, primarily in the form of sugars, is transported through the plant via specialized tissues known as phloem. The sugars move from the source (leaves) to various sinks (roots, fruits, and growing tissues) through a process called translocation, which is driven by pressure differences created by active loading and unloading of sugars. This transport system ensures that all parts of the plant receive the necessary nutrients for growth and development.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to the water after it reaches the leaves?
The water is absorbed by the plant cells in the leaves through tiny openings called stomata, where it is utilized for photosynthesis and other metabolic processes. Excess water is released into the air through transpiration.
What is the the role of the phloem?
Phloem takes the plant food from the leaves and takes it to other parts of the plant
Which plant leaves are arranged alternately radially and opposites each other?
Anarcardium occidentale because the new leaves are different to other leaves
Where does the cuticle of a plant come from?
The cuticle of a plant is derived from the epidermal cells of the plant. It is a waxy layer that covers the outer surface of leaves and stems to protect the plant from water loss and other environmental stresses.
What will happen to the water when it reaches the leaves?
When water reaches the leaves of a plant, it primarily serves two functions: it is used for photosynthesis and transpiration. In photosynthesis, water combines with carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen, which are vital for the plant's growth and energy needs. Additionally, during transpiration, water evaporates from the leaf surfaces, helping to regulate temperature and facilitate nutrient movement from the roots through the plant. Ultimately, the water contributes to the plant's overall health and metabolic processes.

What is the the role of the phloem?
Phloem takes the plant food from the leaves and takes it to other parts of the plant
What is the function of a trunk?
To get the plant's own leaves above other plant's leaves. It's all competition.
What is needed for phototsynthesis to work?
Sunlight. The sunlight reaches the leaves of a plant. Within the leaf, the sunlight combines with cells to produce a sugar that, in turn, feeds the plant.
How can you make paper out of taro leaves?
Though one can make paper from any plant but it is not economically advisable to make paper from taro plant leaves or any other plant leaves.

What are the differences between transpiration and translocation?
transpiration is the evaporation of water through leaves and stem. translocation is the transport of sugars in a plant. Translocation- movement of food and nutrients in the plant Transpiration- loss of water through leaves via stomates
What is the foilage of marijuana plants?
Leaves, like any other plant
What is gutation?
The lose of water from other parts of the plant except from the leaves
What carries nutrients made in the leaves to other parts of the plant?
Phloem
