The basic idea of a source is as follows:
A source produces something (a spring is a source).
A sink consumes something (a hole in the ground that water pours into is a sink hole).
But in Biology, the terms have more specific meaning.
That "something" is referring to carbohydrates.
"The movement of carbohydates occurs from where carbohydates are made or have been stored, called a source, to where they will be stored or used, called a sink."

Why does the source and sink for translocation in a plant change at different stages in the growth of a plant?
it changes because as in early growth, the root is sink. Later, the seed becomes sink ;)
When a plant respiration it behaves as a?
carbon source
Why may the source and sink for translocation in a plant change at different stages in the growth of a plant?
During the growth of the plant the excess food prepared by it is stored in the tissues used for storage. As the plant grow the new areas are earmarked for storage. The new leaves producing food by photosynthesis work as source and the place of storage becomes The sink. therefore, for translocation of food in plants the source and sink is kept on changing.
What are the two reasons why the source and sink for translocation in a plant may change at different stages in the growth of a plant?
During active growth in plants the new tissues are formed for photosynthesis as well as for storage of food material. Therefore sourse (site for photosynthesis) and sink (site for storage) remain changing.
Where are sink cells located in a plant?
In the roots.
What is it called to store food in a plant?
Source and sink

How can a root or tuber serve as both a sugar source and a sugar sink?
A root or a tuber can serve as both a sugar source and a sugar sink during the production. What this means is that when a plant is growing into an adult plant, the root or tuber is used as a sort of fuel source, helping the plant with extra nutrients to ensure growth.

Is sink node source or destination?
sink node is source
What is Sink and source mode of transistor?
Source mode at output provides safety than sink at output
Is the printer data source or data sink?
data sink
When a plant moves sugars from its leaves to its stems the sink is?
The sink is the stems.

Is wood a carbon sink or source?
It is immediately both; a Sink upon growth - including phytoplankton, and a Source upon combustion - all forms.
