Question

Loss of solute from the phloem leads to ———— in sieve tube
A) increase in OP
B) decrease in solute potential
C) increase in water potential
D)both (B) and ( C)

Answer 1

Answer:

Phloem (/ˈfloʊ.əm/, FLOH-əm) is the living tissue in vascular plants that transports the soluble organic compounds made during photosynthesis and known as photosynthates, in particular the sugar sucrose,[1] to parts of the plant where needed. This transport process is called translocation.[2] In trees,

Answer 2

Loss of solute from the phloem leads to  both B and C

Option d

Explanation:

• As a result of of loss of solute from the fluid during translocation of the substances such as starch there is decrease in the osmotic potential. This helps in proper translocation of the substances in the plant

• As osmotic potential is inversely proportional to the water potential in the water potential increases significantly. This leads to a decrease in the solute potential which is present in the seive tubes of the phloem
