    Due to Transpirational pull:


    flow from greater to lower water
    concentration relies on cohesion &
    adhesion of water
    guttation at the leaves plays a role
    also functioning of STOMATA and ROOT
    PRESSURE and tonicity/osmolarity

    (note- the book spelled Stomata wrong in the label above!)


    The availability of soil water and minerals

    Long-distance transport of water from roots to leaves

    Phloem transport

    Pressure flow in a sieve tube

    pressure flow

    1 high sugar concentration at “source”

    2 sugar diluted with water from xylem


    creating pressure for flow

    3 sugar unloaded at “sink” where it is


    metabolized or converted to starch

    4 excess water flows to xylem back to


    “source”

    • translocation: movement of food from


    “source” to “sink(s)”
