Question

Most carbohydrates manufactured in leaves and other photosynthetic parts are transported through the phloem to the rest of the plant by the process of translocation. osmosis. transpiration. receptor-mediated transport. turgor pressure.

Answer 1

Translocation

Step-by-step explanation:

Translocation is the movement of sugar that is produced by the source( i.e the part of plants where sugar is produced for other plant parts which could be leaves) to the sinks( i.e the active growing parts of plants where sugar is been deposited for use) where it is used up.

Translocation is done through the phloem tissue to sinks. Sinks could include leaves, fruits, shoots, young developing seeds, tubers and stems.

Translocation is done through the pressure flow model where concentration of sugar that is high at the source creates a low solute potential which helps water movement into the phloem from the adjacent xylem. This movement creates a high pressure potential in the phloem that produce the movement of phloem sap by bulk flow from source to sink.
