Answers
Translocation: The process through which food is transported in plants through phloem tissue is known as translocation.
It takes place in phloem with the help of energy. it's a multidirectional system.
Starch or food prepared by plants are transported through this process...
here is the ans of your question......
transportation of soluble products of photosynthesis or food from leaves to other parts of the plants is called translocation .
for translocation, food molecules enter the part of the phloem called sieve tubes from where they can be transported upwards or downwards to all parts of the plant including roots .
translocation is achieved by utilising energy from ATP. it provides osmotic pressure required for the upward and downward movements of food
