Solution

Product of photosynthesis, that is sucrose, enters into sieve tubes of source (leaves) and is translocated to sieve tubes of sink (roots). Hence, sucrose is stored in root cells.

Find out the incorrect path or flow, in relation to the assimilation of the products of digestion, in humans.

I. Liver $\to$ the main organ to stimulate assimilation.

II. Amino acids $\to$ utilised by cells to produce parts of the basic cell structure, hormones, DNA. (excess is deaminated to form glucose).

III. Monosaccharides $\to$ converted to glucose $\to$ reaches bloodstream and gets used up by the cells for energy. (excess is stored as glycogen).

IV. Triglycerides $\to$ Fatty acids $\to$ used by the cells for homeostasis, repair and construction (excess is stored in adipose tissue).
