Question

Describe how ions, water and sugar are obtained and transported through plants. 6 mark

Answer 1

Answer:

Water and ions are obtained from soil and glucose is obtained from leaves.

Explanation:

Water and ions are absorbed by the plant through roots from the soil whereas glucose is produced in the leaves during the process of photosynthesis. Vascular bundles such as xylem and phloem transported water, ions and glucose within the body. Xylem moves water from roots to the upper water of plants such as leaves, stem etc whereas phloem transported glucose from leaves to other parts of plant.
