Phloem transport is described as being from source to sink. which of the following would most accurately complete this statement about phloem transport as applied to most plants in the late spring? phloem transports from the source to the sink.
a) amino acids; root; mycorrhizae
b) sugars; leaf; apical meristem
c) nucleic acids; flower; root
d) proteins; root; leaf
e) sugars; stem; root

B) sugars; leaf; apical meristem is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Phloem transports sugars from the leaf source to the apical meristem sink.Phloem is a living system that carries and transports the food prepared in the leaves to all parts of the plant.Phloem cells are found outside xylem.

Phloem is comprised of

companion cells sieve cells.phloem fibersphloem parenchyma cells

Phloem transfers food everywhere the plant by this way:

It performs this by a series of tubes that join source tissues to the sinks tissues.The food prepared in the leaves is loaded in the sieve tubes of the phloem and the high pressure produced in the phloem transfer the food to all parts of the plant. Thus mechanism through which sugars are carried is called pressure flow.
