Yes, this facilitates the distribution of food material to all parts of the plant equally well.

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.
What is called the food conducting tissue of a plant?
phloem
How is phloem transport different from xylem transport?
Phloem has a two-way flow
What is the direction of flow of water in xylem and food in phloem?
Water goes up from the roots and the food goes to all parts of the plant.
Drawing xylem and phloem?
Phloem is on the outside.
Why does the flow of materials in phloem reverse direction in winter?
can i get some help

What is pressure flow?
The pressure flow theory describes the movement of food through the phloem. The theory was originated by Ernst Munch.
The source region in the pressure flow explanation of phloem transport is most often the?
The Leaf
How is pholem different from xylem?
Xylem is different from phloem structurally and functionally.Xylem consists of Tracheids, vessels and xylem parenchyma whereas phloem consists of Sieve tubes, companion cells and phloem parenchyma.Xylem conducts water and minerals to the leaves whereas phloem transports the prepared food from leaves to different parts of plant body.
Sugars are conducted through plant tissue by the?
The sieve tubes of the phloem cells help to transport sugars. The stem of the plant has a layer of cells called phloem. Part of the phloem is made of sieve tubes that permit the flow of sugars solution through the influence of fluid pressure differential. The phloem also contains companion cells for the sieve tubes which aid in the transport of sugars to these tubes.
What is called the food conducting tissue of a plant?
phloem
What part of the root does the food flow down through?
the food made in the leaves travel through stem to the roots.
How is phloem transport different from xylem transport?
Phloem has a two-way flow
What is the direction of flow of water in xylem and food in phloem?
Water goes up from the roots and the food goes to all parts of the plant.
What is tissue that moves food from leaves and stems?
Phloem .
Does a sea sponge have a oneway or a twoway digestive system?
Neither. A sea sponge uses diffusion for getting its nutrients.
