The movement of sugars through the phloem is called?
Translocation.
What type of gradient is involved in the pressure flow theory of phloem transport?
The pressure-flow hypothesis explains the function of pholem because ONE DIRECTION IS THE BEST
Why does water follow the sugar as it moves through the phloem?
What's The phloem
Compair transport of substances in xylem and phloem?
through xylem, water flows. through phloem, mineral nutrients get passed through xylem - most of it's components are dead except xylem parenchyma phloem - all of it's components are living except phloem fibres
How does glucose leave and enter plants?
Glucose is transported through the plant's vascular system, specifically through the phloem.
In a plant the pressure flow hypothesis explains the movement of sugar from the to the?
The movement of sugars in the phloem begins at the source, where (a) sugars are loaded (actively transported) into a sieve tube. Loading of the phloem sets up a water potential gradient that facilitates the movement of water into the dense phloem sap from the neighboring xylem (b). As hydrostatic pressure in the phloem sieve tube increases, pressure flow begins (c), and the sap moves through the phloem by mass flow. Meanwhile, at the sink (d), incoming sugars are actively transported out of the phloem and removed as complex carbohydrates. The loss of solute produces a high water potential in the phloem, and water passes out (e), returning eventually to the xylem.

Plant that depends on diffusion to move materials?
I assume you are referring to the mass flow hypothesis, where water from the Xylem is diffused into the phloem, adding pressure inside of the phloem which causes the movement of materials through the plant. Any good A-level (erm...or American equivalent?) textbook will have a full description of mass flow hypothesis. I found (a long time ago :( ) when I was learning this that drawing yourself a diagram of it helps a lot. Good luck.
What is pressure flow?
The pressure flow theory describes the movement of food through the phloem. The theory was originated by Ernst Munch.

What is the function of the phloem in a leaf?
Phloem provides a passage for the downward movement of the food manufactured in leaves to various parts of the plant.

What travels through the phloem?
food (:
How food transport in plants?
food is transported through phloem....root get food through obsorbtion of water..then food is transported through a tissue name phloem
