Question

What happens during the translocation stage of translation?

Answer 1

Translocation is the movement of materials from leaves to other tissues throughout the plant. Plants produce carbohydrates (sugars) in their leaves by photosynthesis, but nonphotosynthetic parts of the plantalso require carbohydrates and other organic and nonorganic materials.

Answer 2

" Translocation "

Unlike xylem, translocation in phloem is achieved by energy. Materials like sucrose is rendered into phloem tissue using energy from ATP.

This increase the osmotic pressure of the tissue causing water to move into it. This process moves the material in the phloem to tissues having low pressure.

This allows the phloem to move material according to the plant's needs.
