What is the direction of movement of sugars in phloem?
- ANon-multidirectional
- BUpward
- CDownward
- DBi-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.
