Answer:
Translocation is the conduction of materials from leaves to other tissues throughout the plant by the vascular bundles. Plants produce carbohydrates (sugars) in their leaves by photosynthesis, which is further conducted to different parts of the plant for proper functioning. For this reason, nutrients are translocated from sources (regions of excess carbohydrates, primarily mature leaves) to sinks (regions where the carbohydrate is needed). Some important sinks are roots, flowers, fruits, stems, and developing leaves. Leaves are particularly interesting in this regard because they are sinks when they are young and become sources later, when they are about half grown.
