Both of these observations—________X__________and________Y__________—support the existence of mass flow in the sieve elements of the phloem.

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant
  1. X- retrieve any sugars lost to the apoplast by leakage, and  Y- perhaps to reload sugars at the termination of sieve tubes
  2. X-the lack of bidirectional transport in a single sieve element and,  Y- similar velocities for solutes and water
  3. X-positive pressure gradient and,   Y- turgor pressure higher in sieve elements of sources than to sink 
  4. X-the bidirectional transport in a single sieve element and,   Y- different velocities for solutes and water
