Translocation is the process of transport of food in green plants from their source ( leaves and green plants) to the other parts of the plant through phloem.
The Translocation in phloem is achieved
by utilising energy.Materials like sucrose
is transferred into phloem tissue utilising
the energy from ATP. This increases the
osmotic pressureof the tissue causing
the water to move into it. This pressure
moves the materials in the phloem
tissues which have less pressure. This
allows the phloem to move material
according to the plant's needs. For
example, in the spring, sugar stored in
root or stem tissue would be transported
to the buds which needs energy to grow.
