The sugars in a peach tree move

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The movement of sugars in a peach tree is from source to sink. The sink is any part of the plant that needs the sugars for energy or growth, such as the fruit, roots, or developing leaves. Therefore, the movement is not only toward the fruit (A), nor only toward the sugar source (B), as there may be multiple sources and sinks in the plant. The movement is not bidirectional (D), as it is more efficient for the plant to transport sugars from source to sink in a unidirectional way.
