is sugar transport in plants an active process
Â· just now. Report Abuse. 1.Water transport-in xylem from the roots up the plant. A passive process = transpiration 2.Sugar transport-sucrose is the main sugar transported in phloem from leaves up and down the plant. An active process-needs ATP.Process called translocation Look up transpiration and translocation Discuss the cells used in each, the direction and the mechanism. Peter S Â· 6 years ago.ugar i.e. glucose is produced in leaves (green parts of the plant) and it is transported to other parts of the plants such as reproductive organs, fruits and seeds, roots and stem (growing tips etc) through phloem tissue. Xylems are made up of dead cells while phloem tissue is made up of living cells.
