How My Boys Eat

My boys get their food up from the soil through a process known as translocation. Their Phloem is what actually carries the nutrients, mainly sucrose, to all the parts of their body where he needs it. The Phloem consists of two types of cells, Conducting cells and Parenchyma cells. The conducting cells are the cells that are actually responsible for moving the nutrients though the plant. The Parenchyma cells are generally used for food storage.
