Which of the following cells conduct sugars?
A) tracheids
B) vessel members
C) companion cells
D) sieve-tube members
E) more than of these cells conduct sugars

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sieve-tube members are specialized cells in vascular plants that conduct sugars (i.e., photosynthetically produced organic molecules) from the leaves to the rest of the plant. Tracheids and vessel members are involved in water transport, while companion cells are associated with sieve-tube members and provide them with metabolic support but do not actually conduct sugars themselves. Therefore, only sieve-tube members conduct sugars among the given options.
