Why is it important that phloem moves sugar both up and down through a plant? Please help

Biology
1 answer:
RSB [31]3 years ago
5 0
Sugars, which are formed by the plant during photosynthesis, are an essential component of plant nutrition. Like water, sugar (usually in the form of sucrose, though glucose is the original photosynthetic product) is carried throughout the parts of the plant by the vascular system. Phloem, the vascular tissue responsible for transporting organic nutrients around the plant body, carries dissolved sugars from the leaves (their site of production) or storage sites to other parts of the plant that require nutrients. Within the phloem, sugars travel from areas of high osmotic concentration and high water pressure, called sources, to regions of low osmotic concentration and low water pressure, called sinks. (Osmotic concentration refers the concentration of solutes, or sugars in this case; where the concentration of solutes is highest, so is the osmotic concentration).

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Option (1).

Explanation:

DNA (deoxyribo nucleic acid ) is the genetic material present in all the organisms except some viruses. DNA structure follows the Chargaff's rule.

Accoprding to Chargaff's rule, the ratio of purines to pyrimidines in a DNA molecule is equal to 1. The amount of guanine is nearly equal to the amount of cytosine whereas the amount of thymine is nearly equal to the amount of adenine.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
