Which of the following is a correct statement about sugar movemetn in phloem?
Simora [160]

Answer:

a. movement can occur both upward and downward in the plant

Explanation:

The phloem loading causes the accumulation of sugars in the sieved elements generating a negative solute potential (quedas), with a drop in water potential (ψw), so water enters the sieved elements increasing the turgor pressure (ψp). With the discharge of phloem in the drain occurs lower concentration of sugars in the screened elements, increases the solute potential, becoming positive, thus the phloem water potential increases and thus the water leaves the conducting vessel. In the specific case of sugar movement in the phloem, it can be stated that this movement can occur both up and down in the plant.

Foodborne pathogens often require the presence of a large number of microbes before an active infection results. These microbes
Dvinal [7]

The virulence of the microbes should be high to cause an active infection.

Explanation:

Virulence is the actual potential or ability of a pathogenic microbe to infect a host. Even with a high median infectious dose to cause an infection, it is the virulence which defines the level of pathogenicity or ability of the pathogens like the foodborne pathogens to cause and active infection.

An active infection is caused when virulence of the pathogen is high. The virulence factors are surface receptors, surface coats, and toxins.

Virulent bacteria cause active infection by adhesion, colonization, invasion, immune response inhibitors, or as toxins. A virulent virus replicates rapidly and modifies the host’s defensive mechanism
