    The document discusses various processes involved in the transport of substances in plants. It explains that the pressure flow hypothesis is the widely accepted explanation for sugar transport in phloem. Phloem is composed of sieve-tube elements and companion cells. Most minerals enter root cells through active transport, while gases like CO2 and O2 enter through diffusion. Transpiration refers to the evaporation of water from leaves. The cohesion-tension theory explains how water moves through the xylem. Guard cells swell open the stomata. Water enters roots through osmosis.
