Question

Concentration of xylem sap is

• A. More than phloem
• B. Lesser than phloem
• C. Equal in both
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Lesser than phloem

It has been generally accepted that xylem transports water and minerals and phloem tissue transports prepared sugars. Hence, photosynthates like sugars will be present in phloem in higher concentration, consequently, xylem sap will be less concentrated and watery as compared to phloem sap.

So, the correct answer is option B.
