Which of the following materials is transferred into the phloem tissue using energy from ATP?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Sucrose
Food made in the leaves is carried through the plant by the phloem (translocation) mainly as sucrose. Sucrose is loaded into the phloem tissue using energy from ATP; this raises the osmotic pressure there, water enters, and the food moves to the parts that need it.
