Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Tissue in plants that conducts sugars and other metabolic products from the leaves to the rest of the plant.
A
Vascular cambium
B
Cork cambium
C
Xylem
D
Phloem
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vascular tissue in plants is made of two specialized conducting tissues: xylem, which conducts water, and phloem, which conducts sugars and other organic compounds.

Detailed explanation-2: -phloem, plant vascular tissue that conducts foods made in the leaves during photosynthesis to all other parts of the plant. Phloem is composed of various specialized cells called sieve elements, phloem fibres, and phloem parenchyma cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Phloem is tissue that delivers food, made in a plant’s leaves during photosynthesis, to the rest of the plant. This tissue is part of the plant’s vascular system, which can be seen in the veins on leaves.

Detailed explanation-4: -Phloem, the vascular tissue responsible for transporting organic nutrients around the plant body, carries dissolved sugars from the leaves (their site of production) or storage sites to other parts of the plant that require nutrients.

Detailed explanation-5: -Phloem are tissues that look like tubes. They transport sugars throughout the plant and supply it to tissues like roots, flowers and fruits that depend on this sugar to grow. Think of them like the veins in our body that move blood. Moving sugars from cells in the leaves to cells in the phloem is difficult for plants.
