The active transport of sucrose molecules from a leaf's apoplast to its phloem requires that the sucrose be cotransported with

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The active transport of sucrose into the phloem involves a proton (H⁺) gradient. Sucrose is cotransported with H⁺ ions via a sucrose-H⁺ symporter, which uses the energy from the proton gradient to move sucrose against its concentration gradient.
