Bi-directional

Vedclass · Answer

(D) The movement of sugars in the phloem is described as $bi-directional$. This is because the source (where sugars are produced,usually leaves) and the sink (where sugars are consumed or stored,such as roots,fruits,or developing buds) can change depending on the season or the plant's developmental stage. For example,during spring,sugar stored in roots (acting as a source) moves upward to developing buds (acting as a sink),whereas during summer,sugar produced in leaves (acting as a source) moves downward to roots (acting as a sink). Therefore,phloem transport is not restricted to a single direction.
