Where sugar concentration is high, what is the source of water taken in by the phloem?
Answer (2)
When the sugar concentration is high, water is taken in by the phloem from the adjacent xylem tubes through osmosis. ;
When sugar concentration in the phloem is high, water enters the phloem from the xylem through osmosis. This process increases internal pressure and facilitates the transport of nutrients. Water movement is essential for the phloem's function in distributing sugars throughout the plant.
