Movement into and out of cells — practice question

What conditions are required for the mass flow of sucrose in phloem sieve tubes to occur?

  • Aphloem sieve tube in sources: higher hydrostatic pressure, higher water potential; phloem sieve tube in sinks: lower hydrostatic pressure, lower water potential
  • Bphloem sieve tube in sources: higher hydrostatic pressure, lower water potential; phloem sieve tube in sinks: lower hydrostatic pressure, higher water potential
  • Cphloem sieve tube in sources: lower hydrostatic pressure, higher water potential; phloem sieve tube in sinks: higher hydrostatic pressure, lower water potential
  • Dphloem sieve tube in sources: lower hydrostatic pressure, lower water potential; phloem sieve tube in sinks: higher hydrostatic pressure, higher water potential
