Question

Which of the following is not an example for short distance transport?

• A. Diffusion
• B. Facilitated diffusion
• C. Translocation
• D. Active transport

Answer 1

The correct option is C Translocation

Diffusion, facilitated diffusion and active transport are means of short distance transport in plants. In short distance transport, the movement is within the cell, across the membranes and from cell to cell.
Translocation is movement of substances in bulk over long distances through the vascular tissues .Eg. The solutes that are synthesized in the chlorophyllous regions are transported to the various parts of the plant.
