Transportation

Human beings like other multicellular organism need a regular supply of food, oxygen etc., This function is performed by a circulatory system or Transport system.

• Double Circulation: Blood travels twice through the heart in one complete cycle of the body.
• Pulmonary circulation: blood moves from the heart to the hugs and back the heart.
• Systemic circulation: blood moves from the heart to rest of the body and back to the heart.

Lymph:

A yellowish fluid that escapes from the blood capillaries into the intercellular spaces. Lymph flows from the tissues to the heart assisting in transportation and destroying germs.

Transportation in Plants :

• Xylem
• Phloem.

Transpiration is the process by which plants lose water in the form of vapours.

• Absorption and upward movement of water and minerals by creating PULL.
• Helps in temperature regulation in Plant.

Translocation:

Transport of food from leaves (food factory) to the different part of the plant is called Translocation.
