    Plant nutrition involves the uptake and transport of water and nutrients throughout the plant. Water and minerals are absorbed by the roots and transported through the xylem. Photosynthesis occurs in the palisade mesophyll cells of leaves, which are able to receive lots of light. The sucrose made during photosynthesis is transported through the phloem to other plant parts. Stomata on the leaf underside are bordered by guard cells that open and close to regulate gas exchange.
