Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phloem is the vascular tissue responsible for conducting carbohydrates, mainly in the form of sucrose, from the source tissues (such as leaves) to the sink tissues (such as roots, fruits or storage organs). Xylem, on the other hand, conducts water and minerals from the roots to the leaves. Collenchyma cells, sclerids, and fibers are types of ground tissue, which provide support and protection to the plant but do not conduct carbohydrates or water.
