Which one of the following is responsible for transporting the products of photosynthesis from the leaves to the other parts of the plants?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Translocation of food, mainly sucrose made during photosynthesis, is carried out by the phloem using sieve tubes and companion cells and requiring energy. Xylem moves water and minerals upward, stomata handle gas exchange, and chloroplasts are the site where photosynthesis occurs rather than a transport tissue.
