摘要
Some knowledge of the concept that plants possess an integrated translocation system for sugars that consists of three components-sources, phloem and sinks-is now expected for A-level biology. The concept is described here by answering a phased series of questions designed to provide an understanding of the concept, as well as an appreciation of its complexity.
