Answer:
Translocation in plants:
- 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 plant also require carbohydrates and other organic and nonorganic materials.
- 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.
