Question

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRANSPIRATION AND TRANSLOCATION?

Answer 1

Answer:

Translocation means a change in location. It usually refers to genetics, when part of a chromosome is transferred to another chromosome. Chromosomes are structures that carry genes, our units of heredity. When this type of translocation occurs, it can cause flaws in chromosomes

Transpiration is the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere. Transpiration is essentially evaporation of water from plant leaves.

Hope it helps!

Explanation:

• Transpiration is the evaporation of water from the leaves in the form of water vapour whereas translocation is the transportation of synthesized products (sugars)in a plant.

• Transpiration always occurs against the gravity while translocation does not always occur against gravity.

• Transpiration involves mainly the xylem cells which become active during absorption process by the roots while translocation involves both xylem and phloem cells to carry the synthesized food materials within the plant.
