In What Direction Do the Sugars in a Peach Tree

Question

In what direction do the sugars in a peach tree move?
A) only toward the fruit
B) only toward the sugar source
C) only toward a sugar sink
D) either toward or away from sugar sources

Accepted Answer

The sugars in a peach tree move from where they are produced (photosynthetic tissues like leaves) to where they are stored or used (e.g. fruit, growing tissues, roots). This means that they move towards a sugar sink and not just a sugar source.
