They can run this way for long distances. This effort is very exhausting, and a turkey that is flushed four times will probably be unable to fly.

It moves by diffusion through plasmodesmata. Parenchyma cells convert it into starch and move it from cell to cell in glycogenolysis vesicles. It is actively transported into the tops of the sieve tubes, and osmotic water intake creates a pressure buildup that powers a mass flow through the sieve tubes. In some situations, turkeys can eat large amounts of ferns and club mosses. All of these.
