• What is the importance of transporting substances in living

organisms?

In animals, the material move into, within and out of the body in
respiratory, circulatory, digestive and excretory system while in plants
the materials move, into within and out of the body during processes of
respiration, transportation, photosynthesis, absorption by roots,
conduction of water, and the nutrients.

A living organism is a complex of interactions of physical and chemical

reactions involving different elements and molecules. All living cells or
living organism must obtain and transport different substances within
the body and also transport and remove the wastes out of their bodies
or cells.

The unicellular organisms and simple multicellular organisms lack mass

flow systems. But the complex multicellular organisms have very
efficient transport systems. If there were no transport systems, most of
the cells of the body of a complex multicellular organism, would be
unable to get required materials, and remove their wastes.
