Question:-
translocation is explained by which theory or hypothesis
The pressure flow hypothesis, also known as the mass flow hypothesis, is the best-supported theory to explain the movement of sap through the phloem. It was proposed by Ernst Münch, a German plant physiologist in 1930
.Mass flow hypothesis is the theory that translocation of sugars in the phloem is brought about by a continuous flow of water and dissolved sugars between sources and sinks. (A source is the site of production of sugars, usually leaves, and the sink is the site of their utilization, for example the root system.)
