What is the direction of movement of sugars in phloem?

  1. A
    Non-multidirectional
  2. B
    Upward
  3. C
    Downward
  4. D
    Bi-directional

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Xylem transport is strictly unidirectional (upward). However, in phloem, sugars are transported from the source (leaves) to the sink (roots, fruits, growing buds). Since the source-sink relationship changes seasonally, the transport is bi-directional.
