Vedclass · Answer

(A) $1$. Sucrose is synthesized in the mesophyll cells of the leaves (source) through photosynthesis.$2$. It is then loaded into the companion cells and subsequently into the sieve tube elements of the phloem by active transport.$3$. This loading process creates a hypertonic condition in the phloem,which draws water from the adjacent xylem by osmosis.$4$. This results in the development of a high hydrostatic pressure (turgor pressure) in the phloem,which facilitates the translocation of food to the sink.

After the synthesis of sucrose,into which structure is it actively transported?
