Sieve tube elements in plants have very few organelles such as mitochondria.
Explain how having very few organelles is an adaptation of the sieve tube element to its function.
two from
idea that reduces resistance to flow through sieve tube ;
idea that less space taken up so increased volume of sap / AW, can pass through (per unit time) ;
pressure flow / mass flow, does not need energy from the cell / AW;
AVP ;
(organelles not needed as) metabolic reactions / AW, carried out by the companion cell ;
