Question

Girdling experiment demonstrate food synthesis in plant is it true or falsa

Answer 1

FALSE

Girdling experiment demonstrate food Transport in the plant.

Girdling experiment is the process in which bark containing the phloem tissue is removed from the edges of the trunk.

Ringing/Girdling experiments demonstrate that the phloem is responsible for translocation of food because the phloem is present outside the xylem. So, when a ring of bark is removed from a woody plant, the woody xylem part remains intact, which causes the water and the nutrients to reach the leaves. This process of removal of a ring of bark(phloem) from the wood is done by a technique known as girdling. After girdling, photosynthates get accumulated just above the girdle region and are not transported to other parts below the girdle. This experiment shows that phloem is responsible for food transport.
