Answer 10

doesnt chlorphyll create sugars during photosynthesis and that's why leaves contain sugar?

Answer 11

It's because chlorophyll is the main ingredient in photosynthesis, which produces glucose.

Answer 12

OK SOO THIS IS THE PARAGRPAH I HAD TO READ AND THAT WAS THE QUESTION- the pressure-flow model explains how sugars from photosynthesis move through the plant within the phloem. Phloem sap
moves from a sugar source to a sugar sink. A source is any part of the plant that has a
high concentration of sugars. Most commonly this source is the leaves, but it can also
be where sugars have been stored, such as the roots. A sink is the part of the plant using
or storing the sugar, such as growing stems, a fruit, or even the storage roots that will
be a sugar source later in the season. The locations of sugar sources and sinks in a plant
can change as the plant grows and as the seasons change.
