Movement into and out of cells — practice question

Which statement describes how mass flow develops in sieve tube elements?

  • ASucrose actively loaded into sieve tube elements decreases the water potential causing the hydrostatic pressure to increase.
  • BSucrose actively loaded into sieve tube elements increases the water potential causing the hydrostatic pressure to decrease.
  • CSucrose diffused into sieve tube elements decreases the water potential causing the hydrostatic pressure to increase.
  • DSucrose diffused into sieve tube elements increases the water potential causing the hydrostatic pressure to decrease.
