Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which plant tissue is primarily involved in the transport of sugars?
Correct Answer: Phloem
  • Step 1: Understand that plants have different types of tissues that perform specific functions.
  • Step 2: Identify that one of these functions is the transport of nutrients and sugars.
  • Step 3: Learn that there are two main types of vascular tissues in plants: xylem and phloem.
  • Step 4: Recognize that xylem is responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the leaves.
  • Step 5: Understand that phloem is the tissue that transports sugars and other metabolic products.
  • Step 6: Conclude that phloem carries sugars from the leaves, where they are made, to other parts of the plant.
