CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer. Translocation is the process by which assimilates from photosynthesis are moved around the plant, from where they are made to where they are needed. The place where these assimilates are produced is called the source, and the place they are moved to is called the sink.

Detailed explanation-2: -Translocation is the movement of materials in plants from the leaves to other parts of the plant. Nutrients, mainly sugars, are created in the leaves during photosynthesis. These are then transported throughout the plant through phloem, which are a long series of connected cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transport of soluble product of photosynthesis or food from leaves to other parts of plants is called translocation. For translocation, food molecules enter the part of the phloem called the sieve tubes where they can be transported upwards or downwards to all the parts of the plant including roots.

Detailed explanation-4: -Translocation is the movement of organic compounds (e.g. sugars, amino acids) from sources to sinks. Organic molecules such as sucrose and amino acids move from a source to a sink via phloem tubes in plants.
