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: -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-2: -Sugars produced in sources, such as leaves, need to be delivered to growing parts of the plant via the phloem in a process called translocation, or movement of sugar.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vascular tissue in plants is made of two specialized conducting tissues: xylem, which conducts water, and phloem, which conducts sugars and other organic compounds. A single vascular bundle always contains both xylem and phloem tissues.

Detailed explanation-4: -Phloem, also called bast, is a vascular tissue that runs through all the organs of plants. It transports sugars formed in the leaves during photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Phloem. The phloem is responsible for translocation of nutrients and sugar like carbohydrates, produced by the leaves to areas of the plant that are metabolically active. It is made up of living cells.
