How is food transported in plants ?

Explanation

Phloem transports food materials from the leaves to different parts of the plant body. The transportation of food in phloem is achived by utilizing energy from ATP. As a result of this, the osmotic pressure in the tissues increases causing water to move into it, this pressure moves the material in the phloem to the tissues which have less pressure. This is helpful in moving materials according to the needs of the plant. For example, the food material such as sucrose, is transported into the phloem tissues using ATP energy.
