the layer of cartex (which is in the plant root) can act as a winter storage for starch.

Carry water to the leaves and carry sugar and oxygen from the leaves to the living parts of the plant that need it?

Xylem carries water from the roots to toward the leaves. Phloem carries sugar and nutrients from the leaves toward the roots. Oxygen is transported by diffusion, NOT by the liquid transport system.


How do plants transport sugar from the leaves to the rest of the plant?

Plants transport sugar from the leaves to the rest of the plant through a process called translocation. This process occurs in the phloem, where sugar is actively transported from source tissues (like leaves) to sink tissues (such as roots, fruits, and growing tips) through specialized cells called sieve tubes. The movement of sugar is driven by a pressure gradient created by the loading of sugar at the source and unloading at the sink.


How are the sugars made in leaves transported in plants?

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.


What happens to the sugar produced in the leaves of a plant?

The sugar produced in the leaves of a plant is transported down to the roots, stems, and other parts of the plant through specialized tubes called phloem. This sugar is used as a source of energy for growth, maintenance, and reproduction in different parts of the plant.

How is the sugar produced by photosynthesis transported from the leaf?

The sugar produced by photosynthesis in the leaf is transported through a network of tubes called phloem. These tubes carry the sugar to other parts of the plant where it is needed for energy or storage.


Which part of the plant absorbs minerals for photosynthesis?

The roots of a plant absorb minerals from the soil, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are essential for photosynthesis to occur in the leaves. Minerals are transported from the roots to the leaves through the vascular system of the plant.


The root is an example of a photosynthetic sink tissue in plants True or False?

True. The sugars made during photosynthesis in the leaves (sugar source) are transported by the means of the pressure-flow hypothesis to sugar sinks. The roots are a sink since there is a low concentration of sugar and they need more from sugar sources to grow.

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

Because sugar is transported through phloem and water is transported through xylem.


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.


Why does the direction of sugar transport vary from season to season?

In summer the plant makes alot of sugar, so it is transported to the roots for storage. In the winter, there is less light and less photosynthesis occurs, so sugar is trasnported to the leavesto use it as energy
