Why is it
important?
Each cells in organism needs essential
substances (water, oxygen, nutritions, etc)
to survive.

Human and plants as multicellular organism

need the transport system to to obtain and
move the substances.

Transport System in
Plants
Nutrients:
Mineral salts dissolved in water

photosynthesis
healthy growth

It consist of roots and vascular

bundle (xylem & phloem tissue)
Absorption of water and
mineral salts
Soil contains the mineral salts and water and
absorbed by root hairs.

The mineral salts will move cell to cell (Diffusion)

The water molecules move cell to cell (Osmosis)
The process would continue until they reach the
stem.
 Transport Tissues in
Plants
The vascular tissue is comprised of the
xylem and phloem, which bring food, water,
and minerals to different parts of the plant.

Phloem to transport
Xilem to transport
food from
the water and
photosynthesis (e.g
mineral.
sugars)
Processes in Transport
Substances

The movement of mineral salts and The movement of water (into

foods from higher concenration to the plant roots and parts within
lower concentration region. the plant)
Also, the change of CO2 with O2 in
a leaf.

Transport System
in Humans
Blood is the essential medium of human transport
system (transportation of oxygen, nutrients, and
lots of substances in out body/ Circulatory
