Which of the following is a correct statement about sugar movement in phloem? Sugar transport does not require energy. Sugar is translocated from sinks to sources. Diffusion can account for the observed rates of transport. Movement can occur both upward and downward in the plant.

Identify the false statement The phloem can bidirectionally transport material. While the xylem can only unidirectionally transport material. The xylem is responsible for the transport of water while the phloem is responsible for transporting nutrients. Water moves from root to leaf through capillary action. The phloem is made up of dead cells and the xylem is made up of living cells.
