C) If you have a sieve tube member next to a vessel element, and
the solution in the sieve tube member has lots of sugar (Ys = -2.0 MPa) and positive pressure
(4p 0.5 MPa), and
. the solution in the xylem vessel is fairly dilute (Ys = -0.1 MPa), but it is under physical tension
(Yp%3D-1.4MPa),
which way will the water flow?
a) from the sieve tube member into the vessel element
b) from the vessel element into the sieve tube member
c) neither direction. Th
