NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sugar Transport in the Phloem. Among the sugars synthesized in a plant, only a few are transported in the phloem over a long-distance, whatever the species and the type of phloem loading considered. In all cases, sucrose is the main form of carbon found in the phloem.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants have two transport systems-xylem and phloem . Xylem transports water and minerals. Phloem transports sugars and amino acids dissolved in water.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
