5 public questions tagged with this topic.

Source organs during phloem translocation in healthy plants are:

That points to C: Mature leaves. Compared with the other options, Mature leaves is the one that correctly describes the PSS- Sec-F-Transport concept. The wrong ones are A) Roots; B) Developing fruits; D) Young leaves. If you’re stuck, eliminate anything that contradicts a basic fact you already know for this topic.

Major source organ during phloem translocation in healthy plants is:

That points to D: Wheat. Compared with the other options, Wheat is the one that correctly describes the PHLOEM TRANSLOCATION concept. The wrong ones are A) Trifolium; B) Bryophyllum; C) Rice. If you’re stuck, eliminate anything that contradicts a basic fact you already know for this topic.

Phloem translocation is bidirectional because:

Go with B — Different sieve tubes carry flow in opposite directions. Under PHLOEM TRANSLOCATION, this is the standard explanation you’d use in class: it names the real driver or definition, while the rest are nearby but wrong. Not these: A) Phloem sap flows both ways in one sieve tube; C) Diffusion occurs freely; D) Xylem assists phloem. When two options sound similar, choose the one that matches the textbook definition most tightly.

Phloem translocation is defined as the long-distance movement of:

Answer: C) Photoassimilates through phloem. For PHLOEM TRANSLOCATION, remember the key idea and you’ll land on this option; the distractors usually swap cause and effect or confuse similar terms. Avoid: A) Water through xylem; B) Mineral ions through cortex; D) Hormones through xylem. Name the process first, then pick the option that describes it — don’t reverse cause and effect.

Main sugar transported through phloem is:

Correct option is C, Sucrose. In BASICS of PLANT problems like this, the accurate statement is Sucrose; the others are common mix-ups. Not these: A) Glucose; B) Fructose; D) Starch. Tissue transport questions usually turn on xylem vs phloem, living vs dead cells, or source vs sink.
