Explanation:
It proposes that water containing food molecules flows under pressure through the phloem. ... At their "source" — the leaves — sugars are pumped by active transport into the companion cells and sieve elements of the phloem. As sugars (and other products of photosynthesis) accumulate in the phloem, water enters by osmosis.

Explanation:
Translocation is the movement of materials from leaves to other tissues throughout the plant. Plants produce carbohydrates (sugars) in their leaves by photosynthesis, but nonphotosynthetic parts of the plant also require carbohydrates and other organic and nonorganic materials.
