HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -The process of movement of food from the leaves to the other parts of the plant is called translocation. Translocation of food takes place through the phloem which carries the food produced through photosynthesis in the leaves to the other plant parts.

Detailed explanation-2: -The food materials, sugar(glucose), and other carbohydrates are carried from the leaves to other parts of the plants such as stems, roots, etc by a process known as translocation. The vascular tissue phloem helps in the process of translocation by conducting the food materials.

Detailed explanation-3: -Translocation occurs in the phloem tissue, which consists of tube-like structures called phloem vessels. These phloem vessels run from the leaves into every other part of the plant and are responsible for transporting dissolved organic solutes, such as sucrose and amino acids, from the sources to the sinks.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sugars produced in sources, such as leaves, need to be delivered to growing parts of the plant via the phloem in a process called translocation, or movement of sugar. The points of sugar delivery, such as roots, young shoots, and developing seeds, are called sinks.

Detailed explanation-5: -The glucose that is made in photosynthesis needs to be transported to other parts of the plant where it’s needed-this happens in the phloem vessels in a process called translocation.
