To move to the roots of a plant, a sugar molecule must exit the cell where it was produced and enter the stream of plant fluid that carries sugar to other parts of the plant (known as phloem). A newly created sugar molecule is transported to the phloem through diffusion. This means that sugar molecules.

Trace carbon through the system from the atmosphere to sucrose in the leaves, making sure to include the processes of diffusion and photosynthesis. Trace carbon through the system from the sucrose in leaves to cellulose in the roots, making sure to include transport and biosynthesis. Example with hydrogen: hydrogen enters the root of a plant in the form of water through absorption. Through transport, that water moves to the leaf in the xylem. Through photosynthesis, the hydrogen in that water is used to biosynthesize glucose, etc.

sinks In plants, water and minerals are transported in tissue called epidermal cellular respiration phloem Water enters a plant in the and exits a plant through stomata in the vascular leaves On the other hand, sugars are transported from sources to sinks in vascular tissue called photosynthesis ground A process called drives the movement of dissolved sugars from sources to sinks. transpiration sources In plants, the leaves are, areas that produce sugars using, while the roots and fruits are, areas that do not carry out photosynthesis. roots xylem pressure-flow
