TRANSPORT IN PLANT

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The up and down movement of substances in Phloem. (Translocation)
A
Xylem
B
Phloem
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
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: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transport in the phloem is therefore both up and down the stem. Transport of substances in the phloem is called translocation .

Detailed explanation-4: -Translocation is the movement of elements within a plant from leaves to other tissue. Plants’ phloem, a type of vascular tissue, is where translocation takes place. Sugars that are produced by photosynthesis or that are stored in plant tissues like roots, bulbs, and tubers are examples of sugar sources.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
