Transport in Plants Quiz (3) Biology AS Level
Sucrose is loaded into phloem sieve tubes from companion cells.
What is the correct order of statements that explains this mechanism?
1- Hydrogen ions diffuse into companion cells through co-transporter proteins.
2- Hydrogen ions are pumped out of companion cells by active transport.
3- Sucrose diffuses into phloem sieve tubes via plasmodesmata.
4- Sucrose is co-transported along with hydrogen ions.
