Sugar transport
Palisade contians chloroplasts; calvin cycle produces G3P and it moves into the cytoplasm
What happens to G3P in the cytoplasm
G3P → glucose + fructose → sucrose
Sucrose
The transport sugar, made up of glucose and fructose
Sucrose movement
moves though the plasmodesmata into the bundle sheeth then into the minor vein
Phloem Loading
Sucrose is loading into the cytoplasm though sucrose proton co transport; It is an active process; Once in the cytoplasm water comes into the phloem due to decreased water potental

Bulk flow of sucrose and H2O
A positive pressure inside the phloem allows it to go all around the plant
Sources and sinks
Source is where sugars are coming from; sinks are where sugars go to; depends on the season
