Question

Where does the phloem get the food that it carries to the stem and roots?

Answer 1

Answer: source- leaves

Explanation:

Source is the part of the plant where glucose is produced.

Phloem tissue transport sugar from where it is been produced(source) to the sink. The sink is the area of high energy demand such as the actively growing plant part. Phloem is a living cell, made up of connective tissues and its moves in a multidimensional way. The movement of sap through the phloem is by hydrostatic pressure through active transport. The phloem is filled up throw a process called loading and the phloem cell is emptied at the sink through unloading.

Xylem aids in transport of water into cell from active movement.

Answer 2

Answer:

Its is gotten from the leaves

Explanation:

Photosynthesis helps green plants produce their food. This green plants use their leaves which has a unique green coloring compound called chlorophyll to absorb sunlight in the presence of Carbon Dioxide and water.

The food produced are then stored in leaves .Phloem cells are vascular tissues in plants which helps in the transport of food to other parts such as roots, stems, fruits through the help of sieve plates, sieve cells and sieve tubes.
