hormnes
sweat
urea

An experiment was performed on a young plant using an aphid stylet to measure the rate of transport in the phloem. The same pant was then placed in a bell jar and a chemical placed in the bell jar to absrob all the oxygen present. The rate of transport in the phloem decreased and then stopped.
What is the reason for this?
companion cellsno longer produce suffient energy
mitochondrion in the xylem vessels cease to function
photosynthesis cannot occur inthe bell jar
translocation occurs only by diffusion
