Question

The direction of movement of sap in phloem of higher plants can be:

Answer 1

Sap moves through phloem via translocation, the transport of dissolved materials in a plant. Unlike the xylem, which can only carry water upward, phloem carries sap upward and downward, from sugar sources to sugar sinks: Sugar sources are plant organs such as leaves that produce sugars.

Answer 2

Answer:

The direction of movement of sap in phloem of higher plants can be from Sugar sources to sugar sinks.

Explanation:

The flow of sap can be regarded as pressure flow or mass flow.

The pressure supporting this flow is called Hydrostatic pressure.

This sap movement is bidirectional movement.

This movements occur in sieve elements and mode of transport is active transport.
