Question

How can sugar stored in root or stem tissue transported to buds in springs?

Answer 1

Answer:

When sucrose is synthesized in the leaf during photosynthesis, the, osmotic pressure of the cells increases. ... This causes sucrose to be translocated from stored root or stem tissue to bud in spring

Answer 2

Answer:

Sugar or sucrose stored in the root or stem tissue is transported to buds in spring by the process of translocation.

Explanation:

• When sugar is synthesized in the leaves by photosynthesis, it is stored in leaves which lead to the increased osmotic pressure of the leaves and passage of sugar into the sieve cells through osmosis.
• This translocation of water, minerals, and organic material take place usually from the source (of food preparation, the leaves) to the sink (storage of food, the root) by the vascular tissues, xylem and phloem.
• Sugar is carried by the phloem tissues and is supplied to different parts of the plants according to the need.
• So during the spring season, when the plants produce buds, more energy is needed in the bud region so as to bloom fully.
• Thus sugar is transported from the energy sinks through the phloem tissue to the buds in the spring season.
