Why is the phloem in a leaf important to the roots of a plant?
o a. it transporng the food generated by photosynthesis.
o b. it transports oxygen up from the soil.
o
c. it transports chloroplast to the roots.
o
d. it transports water from the leaves to the roots.

The correct answer is A it transport the food generated by photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Both xylem and phloem are the examples of vascular tissue present in plants.xylem helps in the transport of water from root to different parts of the plants.

    Whereas phloem helps in the transport of photo synthate from mesophyll tissue to sieve element companion cell complex.The transport of photosynthate to different non photo sythetic parts of a plant involves both symplastic and appoplastic pathway.

  Symplastic pathway is a passive process depending on the pressure gradient for the transport of solutes through the plasmodesmata which connect 2 adjacent plant cells.

  Appoplastic pathway is an active transport process occuring against the concentration gradient which does not involve plasmodesmata.

the oxygenated blood then leaves the lungs through pulmonary veins, which return it to the left heart, completing the pulmonary cycle. this blood then enters the left atrium, which pumps it through the mitral valve into the left ventricle. from the left ventricle, the blood passes through the aortic valve to the aorta.

deoxygenated blood leaves through the right ventricle through the pulmonary artery. from the right atrium, the blood is pumped through the tricuspid valve (or right atrioventricular valve), into the right ventricle.

ya the other dude is right
