Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Organic molecules such as sucrose and amino acids move from a source to a sink via phloem tubes in plants. The phloem is composed of living tissue called sieve tube members (lack a nucleus) that are joined end to end to form a tube that conducts food materials throughout the plant.
Detailed explanation-2: -In plants, sucrose is transported over long distance in solution in the phloem sap. This flow of sap occurs in a specialised network of cells, called the sieve elements.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sugars produced in sources, such as leaves, need to be delivered to growing parts of the plant via the phloem in a process called translocation, or movement of sugar.
