Question
Chapter 35.3, Problem 2C
Summary Introduction
To describe: The way by which pressure-flow model explains sugar movement in phloem and includes activities at source and sink.
Introduction: Vascular plants consist of two specialized tissues called as xylem and phloem that act as conducting tubes in plants for the transportation of water and sugar molecules throughout the plant. Phloem vessels are involved in transporting the prepared food (glucose) from leaves to all parts of the plants.

The following are some statements about long distance translocation of photo assimilates in higher plants:
P. Sugars are translocated in the phloem by mass transfer along a hydrostatic pressure.
Q. The translocated carbohydrates are mostly nonreducing sugars
R. Munch pressure-flow hypothesis is crucial to drive translocation in the phloem
S. Allocation and partition of carbon within a source leaf determine the phloem loading phenomenon
