The movement of sugars through the phloem is called?
Translocation.
Translocation and transpiration?
There is a direct relationship between translocation and transpiration. Translocation refers to movement of sugars which are dissolved in the phloem while transpiration refers to the process through which water is moved from the roots to the stomata through the xylem.
What are the differences between transpiration and translocation?
transpiration is the evaporation of water through leaves and stem. translocation is the transport of sugars in a plant. Translocation- movement of food and nutrients in the plant Transpiration- loss of water through leaves via stomates
How does translocation occur in a plant?
Translocation in plants refers to the movement of organic substances, mainly sugars produced during photosynthesis, from one part of the plant to another. This process primarily occurs in the phloem, which is a specialized vascular tissue responsible for the transport of these substances. During photosynthesis, sugars (mainly sucrose) are synthesized in the leaves. These sugars need to be transported to other parts of the plant, such as roots, stems, and fruits, for energy and growth. The process of translocation involves the following steps: Sugar Loading : In the source (usually leaves), sugars are actively transported into the phloem cells. 2 Water Movement : The entry of sugars into phloem cells creates a high solute concentration, leading to water movement into these cells by osmosis. Pressure Buildup : The influx of water increases pressure within the phloem, creating a positive pressure called turgor pressure. Mass Flow : The pressure gradient created by the turgor pressure causes the movement of sugars along with water through the phloem toward the sink (the part of the plant where the sugars are needed). Sugar Unloading : At the sink (roots, growing tissues, sugars are actively transported out of the phloem cells and used for various metabolic processes or stored. Translocation is a crucial process for the distribution of nutrients and energy throughout the plant, supporting its growth and development.
The movement of food substances up and down the stem of a plant?
It is called Translocation.
What Happens during movement of chromosome to a non homologous chromosomes?
chromosomal Translocation
A word for movement from one place to another?
Translocation, shuttle, transport -- all of these words can be used this way.
Movement of material to cells?
You'll need to rephrase this if you want an answer. What would you like to know about the movement of materials to cells? Which materials? Which cells?
What is a primary source of energy?
The mitochondrion in a cell The primary source is the sun. Plants can convert sunlight to sugars which cause the plants to grow. We eat the plants, or feed the plants to an animal that we eat, and those sugars, which may be in many different forms, like carbohydrates, enters our cells and then can turn those sugars into muscle movement. It generally starts with the sun.

Explain the process of translocation of food in plants?
All plants need water. The wilted leaves recover when water is added to the soil, which means that water has been conducted upward into the leaves. You have also learnt that the leaves for photosynthesis need water. Likewise, the food produced in the leaves has to be transported to other parts of the plant including the stem, the roots flowers and fruits etc. All this transportation is the function of conducting tissues.
What is another word for translocation?
Leaching is another word for translocation.
