Explain the process of translocation of food in plants?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Translocation in plants is the movement of organic compounds, primarily sugars like sucrose, from one part of the plant to another. It occurs through the phloem tissue, which is made up of sieve tubes and companion cells. Sugars produced in the leaves during photosynthesis are transported through the phloem to other parts of the plant where they are utilized for growth, energy, or storage.

Answer 3

Translocation is the movement of sucrose and amino acids from where they are produced in the plant to where they are utilized through the sieve tubes of the phloem.

Answer 4

the movement of sucrose from source to sink is called translocation.
