A special organ in plants called the phloem is responsible for moving food.
Food components are transported from leaves to various areas of a plant by phloem.
The movement of food through the phloem requires the use of ATP’s energy.
Water moves as a result of an increase in osmotic pressure in the tissue. With decreased pressure, this pressure transports material from the phloem to the tissues.
This facilitates the movement of food supplies according to demand. Sucrose, for instance
