    For starters, you can note that plants use the xylem and phloem in order to transport water and substances such as glucose, respectively. If memory serves, glucose originates in a certain source cell. When glucose diffuses passively into the phloem, from the source cell, water will follow by osmosis (the combination of is called coupled transport), and eventually, through further diffusion of glucose, it will leave the phloem into the “sink” cell where it is needed. I’m fairly sure that water will then return to xylem. You might want to research it a little for yourself; I’m working from memory of a lab I did.

    In conclusion, I guess you should elaborate on how plants don’t need a pump, because they use a natural, coupled transport system, as I just described for you. Hope this gives you a good start!

    Here’s a link I found of a picture. It doesn’t really give a diagram, but it might help you out a little. Try Goggling pictures for “phloem xylem translocation.”
