A

P-proteins

B

mass flow incolving a carrier and ATP

cytoplasmic streaming

D

root pressure and transpiration pull

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
According to mass flow hyportesis the transport of organic solutes takes place from source of sink, this transport also depends on metabolic energy.
According to cytoplasmic streaming hypothesis (which was given by de Vries, 1885) the transport or organic solutes takes place by combination of diffusion and cytoplasmic streaming. Cytoplasmic stremaing carry organic solutes from one and to the other end of sieve tube. P-proteisn has a role as defence against phloem feeding inscts and sealing of damaged sieve tubes.
