The solute most abundant in phloem sap is ____.
a. hormones
b. minerals
c. amino acids
d. sugar
e. water
Verified Answer -d. sugar
Phloem transports sugar from a sugar source to a sugar sink.
Water flows into the source end of a sieve tube because
a. water pressure outside the sieve tube forces in water
b. sucrose has been actively transported into the sieve tube, making it
hypertonic
c. sucrose has diffused into the sieve tube, making it hypotonic
d. sucrsose has been transported out of the sieve tube by active transport
e. the companion cell of a sieve tube actively pumps in water
Verified Answer -b) sucrose has been actively transported into the sieve
tube, making it hypertonic
If a plant's stomata are closed an no transpiration is occurring, which of
the following predictions is accurate?
a. Without transpiration, less water will be absorbed from the soil
, b. Without transpiration, the plant's cells will become flaccid
c. Without transpiration, the plant will be water deficient
Verified Answer -a. Without transpiration, less water will be absorbed

A student is performing a chemical analysis of xylem sap. This student
should not expect to find much ___.
a. phosphorus
b. sugar
c. water
d. potassium
e. nitrogen
Verified Answer -b. sugar
Phloem, not xylem, transports sugar.
Which of the following statements about transport in plants is false?
a. Although some angiosperm plants develop considerable root pressure,
this is not sufficient to raise water to the tops of tall trees.
b. Most plant physiologists now agree that the pull from the top of the
plant resulting from transpiration is sufficient, when combined with the
cohesion of water, to explain the rise of water in the xylem in even the
tallest trees.
c. Hydrogen bonding between water molecules, which results in the high
cohesion of the water, is essential for the rise of water in tall trees.
d. Weak bonding between water molecules and the walls of xylem vessels
or tracheids helps support the columns of water in the xylem.
e. Gymnosperms can sometimes develop especially high root pressure,
which may account for the rise of water in tall pine trees without
