Question

In plants, photosynthetic products are transported through

• A. Sieve cells
• B. Sieve cells and companion cell
• C. Sieve tubes and parenchyma
• D. Sieve tubes and sieve cells

Answer 1

The correct option is D Sieve tubes and sieve cells

Transportation of food material in plants is accomplished by phloem tissue. The process of transportation of food by phloem is called translocation. Translocation requires energy in the form of ATP, and food materials are transported by sieve tubes and sieve cells from the region of high concentration to lower concentration.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
