Question
Statement (A) :- Plants transports of food in the form of sucroseStatement (B) :- Transportation of food takes place in the companion cells the help of phloem fibersStatements (A) is correct, (B) is incorrect
Solution
Statement (A) is correct. Plants do transport food in the form of sucrose. This process is known as translocation and it occurs in the phloem tissue of the plant.
Statement (B) is incorrect. The transportation of food does not take place in the companion cells with the help of phloem fibers. Instead, it occurs in the sieve tube elements of the phloem. The companion cells assist in this process by helping to load the sucrose into the sieve tube elements. Phloem fibers, on the other hand, provide support to the phloem and do not play a direct role in the transportation of food.
