TRANSLOCATION IN PLANTS
A.Translocation is necessary as every part
of the plant needs food to get energy and for developing his body.The
translocation of water,salt and nutrients in plants talks place on the basis of
these points-
1)Direction- a)UPward direction b)Radial direction c)Downwardly
2)Path - Xylem
and phloem
a)Continuity of
vascular tissues is distributed by their removal.
b)Food
materials are send upwardly
c)In radial
dierection
Leaves make
food by the process of photosysthesis.The food is in the form of a simple
sugar.The food manufactured by the leaves is transported by a tube called
phloem and process is called translocation.The movement of material through
phloem depends on sieve tubes,which are living cells.These are connected with
each other by perforated sieve plates,forming a continuous passage through
which food dissolves substance can move freely.Food molecules enter the phloem
cells from mesophyll cells of the leaf.After entering they can be transported to
all parts of plant.
Green leaves of
plant manufacture glucose as their food material.This is transported to
different parts in the form of a solution.
