Question

(a) What is translocation? (1) (b) Why is translocation essential for plants?
(c) How do desert plants perform photosynthesis process though their
stomata remain closed
during daytime?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Translocation in plants occurs in the vascular tissue known as phloem. Translocation is the movement of materials from leaves to other tissue throughout the plants. Without translocation, the food prepared by the plant can't reach other parts of the plant

Answer 2

(A).Translocation is a type of chromosomal abnormality in which a chromosome breaks and a portion of it reattaches to a different chromosome.

(B).It essential for plants because without it, the food prepared by the leaves cannot reach other parts of the plant.

(C).desert plants, the stomata is open during night. During night, desert plants absorb carbon dioxide and form an intermediate. Then during day time when the stomata is closed to prevent loss of water, they use this stored carbon dioxide to perform photosynthesis.
