Question

How do Angiosperms transport nutireints?

Answer 1

Using  evapotranspiration, the Xylem takes water from root tips up to the leaves.   After many complicated reactions the sugar manufactured by a plant to support its activities is sent back through the Phloem toward the strongest "sinks" for sugar demand regions, such as fruit processing or leaf growth.

Answer 2

Hi StandfordCali2010,

The parts of an Angiosperm plant that are involved with moving nutrients are: the roots (which absorb water and the nutrients from the soil); the xylem (which is the layer in the stem of a plant that move the water and nutrients up its column and out to the leaves); the veins of the leaves (which transport the water and nutrients to the cells of the leaves); and the leaves' stomata [singular = stoma] (which release water vapor, which is necessary to create the water pressure variance that allows for the water to rise up in the plant's stem.  This is called the transpiration stream.

After the plant has produced its food (glucose) the phloem transports its food to areas of the plant for food and/or storage.

I hope this helps.
