1. The Transport Systems

2. Transport
system of a plant
A network of
food-carrying
tubes that carries
food from the
leaves to the rest
of the plant called
as phloem
A network of
water-carrying
tubes that carries
water and
minerals from the
roots to the rest
of the plant
called as xylem
is made up of

3. The human
circulatory system
blood which
carries digested
food, oxygen,
carbon dioxide
and nutrients
around the body
blood vessels
which are tubes
through which
blood flow
the heart which
pumps blood to
all parts of the
body
is made up of

4. Heart

5. Plant transport system Human transport system
Similarities
 Both systems perform the function of transporting
materials
 Both systems have tubes to transport materials
Differences
 Transport food,
water and minerals
 Transport oxygen, digested
food, carbon dioxide, water and
other materials
 Made up of food-
carrying tubes and
water carrying tubes
 Made up of the heart, blood
and blood vessels
 Food transported is
produced by the
leaves
 Food transported is food that
has been digested
 No organ is used to
pump the materials
through the tubes
 The heart pumps the blood
through the blood vessels
