Xylem carries water and mineral nutrient ions from the roots up into the tree. Phloem carries sucrose, the "food" made as a result of photosynthesis, throughout the plant.

What carriers water and dissolved nutrients from the roots to the leaves?

Xylem tissue carries water and dissolved nutrients from the roots to the leaves in plants. It is a complex tissue made up of various types of cells that work together to transport water and minerals throughout the plant.

What vascular tissue carries food from the leaves to the roots?

The phloem carries the food down from the leaves. Not to be confused with xylem, which carries water up to the leaves.


What carries the sap from the roots up the trunk?

The xylem tissue in a plant carries sap from the roots to the leaves through a process called transpiration. Water and nutrients are absorbed by the roots and then pulled up through the xylem vessels by evaporation of water from the leaves.


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.

What part of the plant carries water through the stem?

The vascular tissue xylem carries water from the roots of the plant to the leaves of the plant via the stem of the plant.


Where does the phloem get the food that it carries to the stem and roots?

While xylem transports only in one direction...up, the phloem can move nutrients in either direction. The phloem gets nutrients from the roots to take up to the leaves to be used in photosynthesis and moves sugars and other nutrients produced from the photosynthetic process down to the roots for storage.

How Transports water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves?

Plants transport water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves through a system of specialized tubes called xylem. Water is absorbed by the roots and travels up through the xylem vessels using a combination of capillary action and transpiration. Nutrients dissolved in the water are also transported along with it to nourish the plant.
