3. Some plants transport sugar to companion cells using the symplastic pathway through plasmodesmata (passive loaders). In other plants, the companion cells lack plasmodesmata and sugars must be imported by using H+-Sucrose-cotransporters (active loaders). What are the tradeoffs for both active and passive loaders? 4. Maple syrup is harvested from many species of maple trees, Acer sp, but in order to tap into the syrup, one must drill 2 to 2.5 inches into the tree trunk. Furthermore, the syrup can only be collected after a time of hard freeze, followed by several sunny days with temperatures in the 40s, early in the spring. Based on this description, what part of the tree is specifically being tapped and why it can only be tapped under these conditions?
