Question

Food manufactured in leaves is passed out to other parts of the plant through

• A. Phototaxis
• B. Translocation
• C. Descent of sap
• D. Chemotaxis

Answer 1

The correct option is B Translocation

A. Phototaxis- Movement of an organism in response to light.

B. Translocation- The transport of organic solutes from one place to another in higher plants is referred to as translocation. This is facilitated by the sieve tubes of phloem.

C. Descent of sap- The sap (i.e., water with dissolved minerals)is

absorbed mainly by roots and is moved upward to all the parts of plants via the stem.

D. Chemotaxis- Movement of an organism in response to the chemical.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Translocation'.
