Recall that the phloem sap of vascular plants moves through the phloem as a result of turgor pressure. How are nutrients transported through fungi?
A)through hyphae, as a result of turgor pressure
B)through sieve tubes, as a result of turgor pressure
C)through vessel elements, as a result of turgor pressure
D)through hyphae, as a result of capillary action
E)through sieve tubes, as a result of capillary action
