Answer:

The transport of soluble products of photosynthesis is known as translocation.

Translocation in plants occurs by means of the vascular tissue known as phloem.Translocation is necessary because without it, the food prepared by the leaves cannot reach other parts of the plant. In plants, the synthesis of sugars takes place in the leaves by the process of photosynthesis.

Translocation and its essential:

  • Translocation is the process of transporting the products (soluble) of Photosynthesis from the leaves to the other tissues/parts of the plant.
  • It is important because without this process food prepared in leaves can’t reach other plant parts.
  • Photosynthesis involves the synthesis of food (starch) with the help of Sunlight.
  • It takes place in the leaf part of the plant which contains the green pigment called chlorophyll.
  • Translocation occurs via the vascular bundle called phloem (sieve tube).
  • Due to the pressure created by the entry of water, dissolved materials move through the phloem from the leaves into the rest of the plant.
  • Translocation  are essential for transfer of glucosinolate defence compounds to seeds.
