Whats the first reason for plant transport systems

Whats second reason for plant transport systems

SA:V . Plants cannot rely on diffusion alone to supply cells with what they need. Although leaves have a relatively large SA:V, when the stem and leaves are taken into account, they have a small SA:V ratio
