MCQ on Phloem Transport in Plants




MCQ on Phloem Transport in Plants: Phloem transport in plants occurs through a process called translocation. Sugars, mainly sucrose, produced in photosynthetic source tissues are actively loaded into the phloem. This creates a pressure gradient, causing sugars to flow through sieve tubes to sink tissues, where they are utilized or stored.
