Is that a link for kawaii~chan??
Sure, I can help! To answer your question, we need to understand what the phloem is and what its function is in a plant.
The phloem is a complex tissue system in plants that is responsible for transporting the products of photosynthesis, such as sugars and other organic compounds, from the leaves to other parts of the plant. It is a part of the vascular system along with the xylem.
Now, let's look at the options:
A) Water moves up from roots: This statement is not true for the phloem. Water is primarily transported through the xylem tissue, not the phloem.
B) Food moves down from leaves: This statement is correct. The main role of the phloem is to transport food (sugar) that is produced in the leaves through the process of photosynthesis. The food moves from the source, usually the leaves, to the sink, which can be other parts of the plant like growing buds, roots, and fruits.
C) Food moves up from roots: This statement is not true. The primary movement of food in plants occurs from the source (leaves) to the sink (other plant parts), not in the opposite direction.
D) Water moves down to roots: This statement is not true for the phloem. As mentioned earlier, water is mainly transported through the xylem tissue from the roots to the rest of the plant.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question "What happens in the phloem?" is B) Food moves down from leaves.
