Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- The direction of movement of sugars in the phloem is bi-directional. This means that sugars can be transported both upwards and downwards within the plant, depending on where they are needed. This process is known as translocation, and it allows the plant to distribute the products of photosynthesis (mainly sucrose) from the leaves (where they are produced) to other parts of the plant, such as growing tissues, storage organs, and roots.
