5. A student wrote the following statements about a possible mechanism for loading sucrose
from a source.

1. When energy is released from ATP, the released energy is used to move sucrose
through a co-transporter protein in the companion cell membrane.
2. As sucrose is moved into a companion cell the pH in the cell wall of the companion
cell decreases.

sieve tube element.
