Differentiate between
(a)Translocation and ascent of sap (b) Hypertonic and hypotonic solutions

Open in App

Solution

Translocation Ascent of sap
Occurs in phloem Occurs in xylem tissues
Occurs from the leaves to the other plant parts Occurs from roots to the aerial plant parts
Transport of photosynthetically prepared food Transport of water and minerals
Both upward and downward directions Only in the upward direction
Hypertonic solution Hypotonic solution
The solution whose osmotic concentration is more than that of the cell sap The solution whose osmotic concentration is less than that of the cell sap
Causes endosmosis Causes exosmosis
Causes plasmolysis Causes deplasmolysis
