Question

Explain pressure flow hypothesis of translocation of sugars in plants?

Answer 1

The pressure flow hypothesis states that food is prepared in the plant leaves in the form of glucose. For translocation to the other parts the glucose is converted to sucrose a disaccharide. The sucrose is moved into the companion cells and then into the living sieve tube cells by active transport
