How does the transportation of food take place in plants?


(Q.70)  How does the transportation of food take place in plants?
 

(Ans) The transport of soluble products of photosynthesis is called translocation. Transportation of food, amino acids and other substances takes place in the sieve tubes along with adjacent companions cells. Thus, transportation takes place in phloem in both the directions upward and downward towards the storage organs to roots, fruits, seeds and the growing regions.
