Question

difference between transpiration and translocation in plants

Answer 1

Hey

Here is your answer,

✔Transpiration is the evaporation of water from the leaves in the form of water vapour whereas translocation is the transportation of synthesized products (sugars)in a plant.
✔Transpiration always occurs against the gravity while translocation does not always occur against gravity.
✔Transpiration involves mainly the xylem cells which become active during absorption process by the roots while translocation involves both xylem and phloem cells to carry the synthesized food materials within the plant.

Hope it helps you!

Answer 2

Transpiration refers to the movement of water vapour from the leaves to the atmosphere through the stoma whereas translocation refers to the movement of nutrients produced by the leaves throughout the plant body

...transpiration allows the upward movement of water in the system.

Translocation is carried out by the phloem.
