1. Within the organism *before* it is felled:
* Water: Transported through the xylem (from roots to leaves) and phloem (from leaves to other parts of the plant).
* Nutrients: Transported through the phloem (from leaves to other parts of the plant).
* Sugar (glucose): Produced in leaves through photosynthesis and transported through the phloem.
* Hormones: Transported through the phloem to regulate growth and development.
2. Within the organism *after* it is felled:
* Water: Evaporation can occur, leading to drying of the wood.
* Nutrients: Breakdown of the wood releases nutrients back into the soil.
* Fungal hyphae: Fungi begin to decompose the wood, transporting nutrients within their network.
* Insects: Various insects, including beetles and termites, consume and transport wood particles.
3. Within the organism *after* it is processed into products:
* Wood fibers: Used in paper production, transported in pulp and paper mills.
* Wood chips: Used in biofuel production, transported in trucks or ships.
* Lumber: Used in construction, transported in trucks or trains.
To give a more precise answer, please clarify:
* What type of organism are you referring to? (plant, animal, fungus?)
* What timeframe are you interested in? (Before felling, during decomposition, after processing?)
* What specific "materials" are you asking about? (Water, nutrients, sugars, etc.)
Once you provide these details, I can give you a more specific answer.
