Phloem loading in the apoplastic pathway thought to mediate the transport of sucrose from the apoplast into the sieve element– companion cell complex. Which of the following  are involved in such sucrose transporting by apoplast?
a) Sucrose is at a higher concentration in the sieve element–companion cell complex indicates that sucrose is actively transported against its chemical-potential gradient
b) Sugars transport from the apoplast into the sieve elements and companion cells energy driven process
c) Phloem loading in the apoplastic pathway involves a sucrose–H+ symporter
d) the route of phloem loading is−mesophyll cells→ bundle sheath cells→ phloem parenchyma cell→ ordinary companion cell→ sieve elements
