What transports food in plants?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Phloem
The governing concept is translocation in plants. Food made in leaves by photosynthesis, mainly sugars such as sucrose, is transported to growing, storing and respiring regions through phloem tissue. This movement can occur from source to sink in different directions as needed. Xylem carries water and minerals, guard cells control stomata, and alveoli belong to animal lungs; therefore option A is correct.
