Minerals absorbed by the roots travel up the xylem. How do they reach the parts where they are needed most? Do all the parts of the plant get the same amount of the minerals?

Solution:

Minerals are absorbed from the soil by the roots and transferred to various sections of the plant via the xylem vessels. Because various plants and plant parts have different mineral requirements, not all parts of the plants receive the same amount of minerals.
