Back to the Question

Now back to the question-why is the difference between the food transport system in the plants and the animals.

Plants:

The food(glucose) is produced during photosynthesis and transported to other parts of the plant via the phloem and excess is stored as starch.

The water and mineral salts absorbed by the roots are transported to other parts of the plant through the xylem.

Animals:

Food and water passes through various parts of the digestive system in the following order:

Mouth
Esophagus
Stomach
Duodenum
Ileum
Colon
Rectum
Anus
Toilet(joking)

Much digestion takes place in the small intestine and nutients,simple sugars and amino acids are absorbed into the blood stream and to the cells. Fatty acids and glycerol pass through to the lymphatic system.While in the large intestine, water and dissolved salts are absorbed.

This much summarise my 2nd question and this may be my last post.
