Options
  • A. solute moves from a high concentration in the source to a lower concentration in the sink.
  • B. water is actively transported into the source region of the phloem to create the turgor pressure needed.
  • C. the combination of a high turgor pressure in the source and transpiration water loss from the sink moves solutes through phloem conduits.
  • D. the formation of starch from sugar in the sink increases the osmotic concentration.
  • Correct Answer: Option A
