Choose the correct sequence of events in pressure force theory.
A. Hypertonic condition in the phloem leading to water movement into phloem
B. Glucose is converted to sucrose.
C. Sucrose move to phloem sieve tube by active transport
D. Phloem sap will move to area of low pressure
Mechanism of presure force theory -
Glucose prepared at source (by photosynthesis) converts to source, which then move into the companion calls and then into living phloem sieve tube cells by active transport. This result in hypertonic condition in the phloem leading to water movement into phloem by osniosis from the adjaent xylem.
- wherein
This sets up the water potential gradiant that facilators the mass movement in phloem.
