Question

The given figure shows translocation of organic solutes according to mass flow hypothesis. High turgor pressure and lower osmotic concentration will be at (A) supply end (B) sink end (C) supply end and sink end respectively (D) sink end and supply end respectively.

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

According to mass flow or pressure flow hypothesis (proposed by Munch 1927, 1930), organic substances move from the region of high osmotic pressure to the region of low osmotic pressure in a mass flow due to the development of a gradient of turgor pressure.
