Question
Chapter 23.3, Problem 2MC
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The pressure flow theory of phloem transport.
Concept introduction:
Carbohydrate produced by photosynthesis in the leaves, need to be transported to different parts of plants. Glucose is converted to sucrose for transport, and carried by phloem to parts of the plant. Pressure flow theory is based on flow of sugar from source to sink.
