Investigating Plant Structure and Function: Transport in Plants

The video tutorial explains the process of sap collection from maple trees and its conversion into maple syrup. It discusses the transport of materials in plants, focusing on vascular tissues and the exchange of gases through stomata. The concept of transpiration is explored, highlighting the significant water loss in large trees and the role of guard cells. Finally, the video covers translocation, the movement of dissolved food through phloem.

What is the primary purpose of collecting sap from maple trees?
