Question 25

Function of companion cells -

Answer 25

Loading of sucrose into sieve elements
Reason: Companion cells move sugar and amino acids into and out of the sieve elements. In tissues such as leaf companion cells use transmembrane proteins to take up sugar like Sucrose and amino acids by active transport. Movement of sugars in the phloem begins at the source, where sugars are loaded (actively transported) into a seive tube. Loading sets up a water potential gradient that facilitates movement of sugar.
