Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phloem is the specialized tissue responsible for transporting sugars, amino acids and other organic molecules produced during photosynthesis, from the leaves to other parts of the plant, such as roots, stems, and flowers. Stomata are small openings on leaves that allow for gas exchange, roots absorb water and minerals from the soil, xylem transport water and minerals throughout the plant, and the cuticle is a waxy layer on the leaf that prevents water loss.
