Solution: Transport of materials is necessary for both plants and animals as every cell needs a regular supply of nutrients and oxygen to release energy through respiration. The food that we eat is broken down into smaller components to be absorbed by cells. The oxygen we inhale also has to be transported to all the cells of the body. Our body also requires the constant removal of waste materials such as carbon dioxide
