Chapter 36, Problem 6IQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: The mechanism involved in the active transport of sugar into sieve-tube elements or companion cells and represents the side that is present inside the cell.
Introduction: Vascular plants are defined as land plants and it is otherwise referred to as tracheophytes. It forms a large plant group. The land plants have xylem which is lignified tissues that conduct minerals and water to all parts of the plant. The phloem, which is specialized non-lignified tissue, is also present in the vascular plant. The major function of phloem is to conduct the photosynthesis process.
