Leaves are the sites of photosynthesis in many plants. Leaves require water from the roots for photosynthesis, but other non-photosynthetic cells contained in stems and roots require sugars that are produced by photosynthesis. Which tissue is responsible for transporting the photosynthetic products to other non-photosynthetic cells? a. Phloem b. Xylem c. Arteries d. Xena

Xylem and phloem are the two main transport systems in plants. Which one of the following statements correctly describes the function? A) Phloem carries water and nutrients from the leaves to the roots. B) Xylem carries water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves. C) Xylem carries sugars from the leaves to the roots. D) Phloem carries sugars from the roots to the leaves.

In the xylem, $a$. the products of photosynthesis travel down the stem. $b$. living, pumping cells push the sap upward. $c$. the driving force is in the roots. $d .$ the sap is often under tension. $e .$ the sap must pass through sieve plates.
