How does food prepared in leaves reach other parts of the plant?

  • 1

Food prepared in leaves is transported by phloem tissue. Sieve tubes carry dissolved food materials from leaves to roots, stems and storage organs, while companion cells help regulate loading and unloading of sugars during transportation.

  1. Food made in leaves through photosynthesis is transported to other plant parts by phloem tissue. The sieve tubes carry dissolved sugars and nutrients from leaves to roots, stems and fruits. Companion cells assist sieve tubes by regulating sugar loading and unloading. This transport system distributes food throughout the plant for growth, storage, respiration and other metabolic activities.
