Sucrose is transported throughout plants in phloem tissue, as shown in the model. The varying concentrations of water and sucros

e allow for the movement of both of these molecules through the plant. Which explanation best describes the transport of sucrose in the plant? A) Sucrose is moved into the companion cells and sieve tubes against its concentration by active transport. B) Sucrose is moved into the companion cells along its concentration gradient by facilitated diffusion and then into the sieve tubes by osmosis. C) Sucrose is moved into the companion cells against its concentration via active transport and then into the sieve tubes by facilitated diffusion. D) Sucrose is moved into the companion cells along its concentration gradient by facilitated diffusion and then into the sieve tubes by simple diffusion.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Sucrose is actively transported AGAINST a concentration gradient into sieve-tube elements. Technically, the sieve-tube elements LACK (have no) NUCLEI but the adjacent companion cells do. Companion cells are CLOSELY ASSOCIATED with sieve tubes and ALSO CARRY OUT ALL THE CELLULAR FUNCTIONS of the sieve tubes as well.

sergey [27]

Answer: Plant grass and lay straw at the sites.

Plant grass and lay straw at the sites is the correct option this is because of the fact that the grass and lay straw will absorb the runoff water and prevent the erosion.

What is the relationship between a bean plant and the bacteria growing in the root nodules?
Andrew [12]
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria live in the root nodules and take atmospheric nitrogen out of the air and convert it to ammonia in the soil. The ammonia is then converted into nitrates and nitrites by nitrifying bacteria in the soil for plants to use through the process of assimilation. The bacteria in the nodes have a mutualistic relationship with the bean plant because they provide it with the essential nitrites and nitrates by performing ammonification.
