Which type of vascular tissue carries solutions of nutrients and carbohydrates produced by photosynthesis?
A
xylem
B
tracheids
C
lignin
D
phloem
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Phloem, the tissue that carries the nutrients, consists of, among other things, the actual conducting cells, which are also known as sieve elements, as well as the surrounding companion and phloem parenchyma cells. Carbohydrates are mainly transported in the phloem in the form of sucrose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Phloem is responsible for transporting sugars, proteins, and other organic molecules in plants. Vascular plants are able to grow higher than other plants due to the rigidity of xylem cells, which support the plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -The two primary vascular tissues are xylem, which transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the leaves, and phloem, which conducts food from the leaves to all parts of the plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -Phloem: The soluble products of photosynthesis is glucose. Glucose is the organic nutrient which is produced in the plant and transported to all the plant cells. Glucose is transported throughout the body with the help of phloem which is a vascular tissue.
