Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Translocation requires energy, true or false
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Translocation is the transport of the soluble products of photosynthesis or food from leaves to other parts of plants. This process requires energy, which is obtained from ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transport of substances in the phloem is called translocation . Translocation requires energy as it is an active process.

Detailed explanation-3: -We conclude that ATP is required for protein translocation in this posttranslational system (and probably also in cotranslational translocation); the protonmotive force may contribute but does not appear to be essential.

Detailed explanation-4: -Translocation takes place utilizing energy in the form of ATP.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sinks are the areas which need the substances, for example, leaves. The products made include amino acids and sucrose. Assimilates are the products produced via the process of translocation, which is an energy-requiring, active process.
