Question
Review the movement of sugars through a plant (35.4). Then place the following steps in order as they move from source to sink.
Sugar (sucrose) is actively pumped from the source to the companion cells and into the sieve elements (phloem)
An area of high pressure is created in the sieve elements by the addition of water and sugar
Water passively moves into the xylem due to a change in water potential
Phloem sap moves from area of high pressure to low pressure
Sugar is actively or passively transported into the sink lowering the pressure and raising the water potential
Water passively moves from xylem into the sieve elements (phloem) due to a change in water potential
