NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Translocation is the movement of sugar produced in photosynthesis to all other parts of the plant for respiration and the other processes described above. This occurs in phloem cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Translocation is the movement of materials from leaves to other tissues throughout the plant. Plants produce carbohydrates (sugars) in their leaves by photosynthesis, but nonphotosynthetic parts of the plant also require carbohydrates and other organic and nonorganic materials.

Detailed explanation-4: -Translocation is the process by which sugars are moved around the plant, from where they are made to where they are needed. The place where sugars are produced is called the source, and the place they are moved to is called the sink.

Detailed explanation-5: -Listen to pronunciation. (TRANZ-loh-KAY-shun) A genetic change in which a piece of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to another chromosome.
