These peas are called sugar snap peas. They taste sweet. Plants make food, a sugar, in their leaves using photosynthesis. How do
es the sugar get from the leaves to the peas in these pods? A) The sugar moves through the xylem.
B) The sugar moves through the phloem.
C) The sugar moves through the stomata.
D) The sugar moves through the plant cells' vacuoles.
The answer is B, the sugar moves through the phloem.
Plant has 2 main vessels, xylem and phloem. Xylem is used to move water and mineral ions from the root where it absorbed to the leaves, meanwhile the phloem moves the sugar or food from the region of production, which is usually the leaves, to the places that needed or used for storage.
So since the leaves produces sugar, and peas needed the sugar, so we know that the answer should be phloem.
Meanwhile, stomata is used to release oxygen and water vapor, which are the by products of photosynthesis, and vacuoles are just mainly water substances that exist in most plant cells.
