Answer to Question #304835 in Biology for Rookie

Question

Answer the following questions briefly.

1. How does water and minerals transported from the roots upward to very tall trees?

2. How does carbohydrates produced in the leaves transported to all the plant body?

Answer 1

1.Water travels from a tree's roots to its canopy by way of this conductive tissue. There are many different processes occuring within trees that allow them to grow. One is the movement of water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves in the canopy, or upper branches

2.Carbohydrates are mainly transported in the phloem in the form of sucrose. The cell membrane of the sieve cells contains pump proteins that actively convey sucrose into the vascular pathways.
