NEET BIOLOGY

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: -Phloem, the vascular tissue responsible for transporting organic nutrients around the plant body, carries dissolved sugars from the leaves (their site of production) or storage sites to other parts of the plant that require nutrients.

Detailed explanation-3: -At their “source”-the leaves-sugars are pumped by active transport into the companion cells and sieve elements of the phloem. As sugars (and other products of photosynthesis) accumulate in the phloem, water enters by osmosis.In the figure, sugar molecules are represented in black, water molecules in red.)

Detailed explanation-4: -Phloem, also called bast, is a vascular tissue that runs through all the organs of plants. It transports sugars formed in the leaves during photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Phloem is a highly specialised vascular tissue that forms an interconnected network of continuous strands throughout a plant’s body. It transports sugars, nutrients, and a range of signalling molecules between leaves, roots, flowers, and fruits. As a result, phloem is central to plant function.
