The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Photosynthesis**: Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll in their leaves. The primary product of photosynthesis is glucose, which serves as food for the plant. 2. **Identifying the Transport Mechanism**: After photosynthesis occurs in the leaves, the glucose (food) produced needs to be transported to different parts of the plant for growth and energy. 3. **Recognizing Plant Tissues**: In plants, there are two main types of vascular tissues responsible for transport: - **Xylem**: This tissue primarily transports water and minerals from the roots to the leaves. - **Phloem**: This tissue is responsible for transporting the food (sugars) produced during photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts of the plant. 4. **Choosing the Correct Option**: Since the question specifically asks how the food produced in photosynthesis is transported, the correct answer is **Phloem**. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the food produced in photosynthesis in the leaves is transported via **Phloem**. **Final Answer**: Phloem ---
