according to figure 29.14, what is the relationship between water flow in xylem and sugars in phloem in summer?
a both flow from leaves to roots
b water flows from roots to leaves, sugars travel from leaves to the roots
c both flow from roots to leaves
d water flows from leaves to roots, sugars travel from leaves to the roots

Explanation:

In plants, xylem transports water and minerals from roots to leaves through transpiration - pull. Phloem transports sugars (products of photosynthesis) from source (usually leaves) to sink (such as roots). In summer, this normal transport pattern continues.

Answer:

B. water flows from roots to leaves, sugars travel from leaves to the roots
