What do the phloem tubes do?

Transport sucrose and amino acids around the plant

What do xylem tubes do?

Transport water and mineral salts from the roots up the shoot to the leaves

How do plants get the water required for photosynthesis?

It diffuses from the soil into the root hair cells by osmosis
