CELL STRUCTURE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
This plant structure is designed to allow sucrose and amino acids to be transported throughout the entire plant (bi-directional).
A
Xylem
B
Phloem
C
Cambium
D
Cortex cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The materials like sucrose are transported by phloem sap. This flow of sap occurs in a specialised network of cells, called sieve elements. Phloem transports sucrose and amino acids up and down to the plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -Phloem transports sucrose and amino acids up and down the plant. This is called translocation . In general, this happens between where these substances are made (the sources) and where they are used or stored (the sinks).

Detailed explanation-4: -In plants, sucrose is transported over long distance in solution in the phloem sap. This flow of sap occurs in a specialised network of cells, called the sieve elements.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sucrose is the transport sugar in the phloem. Transport of substances in the phloem is called translocation . Translocation requires energy as it is an active process.
