16 CardsLesson#1
In addition to water, plants need to transport food molecules to all their cells. This process of moving sugars and other substances around the plant is called translocation. It's like the plant's own delivery service.
Quiz#2
What is the biological term for the movement of sucrose and amino acids through a plant?
translocation
Lesson#3
Translocation specifically moves sucrose, which is a type of sugar, and amino acids. This transport happens in a specialised tissue called the phloem.
Quiz#4
Which two substances are transported in the phloem during translocation?
sucrose and amino acids
Quiz#5
In which plant tissue does translocation occur?
phloem
Lesson#6
To understand translocation, we use the terms 'source' and 'sink'. A source is any part of the plant that makes or releases sugars for transport. A sink is any part that uses or stores those sugars.
