The transport system in plants is just as important for survival as it is in animals. In this program, take a look at how multicellular plants obtain and distribute nutrients. Learn about the process of photosynthesis and watch simple diagrams on how the process works. Botanist David Cantril and Horticulturalist Richard Rowe provide an up-close look at xylem and phloem to reveal what is going on inside plants.
