Question

Phloem transports “food” (sugar) to the rest of the plant. Which cellular process is responsible for making this sugar?

Answer 1

Photosynthesis is the cellular process responsible for making sugar in plants. This process occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells, where sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide are used to produce sugar (glucose) and oxygen. The sugar produced during photosynthesis is then transported throughout the plant via the phloem.
