Explain pressure flow hypothesis of translocation of sugars in plants.

Explain pressure flow hypothesis of translocation of sugars in Plants.

Assertion (A). In Spirogyra, some cells in one of the two filaments become empty after conjugation. Reason (R ). The aplanogametes from the cells of the filaments pass through conjugation tubes into the cells of the other filaments.

Consider the following statements 1. Xylem vessels are semi-permeable 2. Sieve tubes translocate only solutes 3. Xylem vessels do not have a turgor pressure 4. Companion cells help in maintaining pressure gradient in the sieve tubes . Which of the statements given above are correct ?

Find the correct pair of statements (i) Influx of Cl- into guard cells during stomatal opening is active. (ii) Entry of sucrose from companion cells into sieve tubes at source involves expenditure of energy (iii) At the sinks sucrose moves out of phloem by passive transport (iv) Efflux of K^(+) from guard cells during stomatal closure does not involve energy expenditure
