Question

Who proposed translocation of solutes is similar to circulation by blood?

• A. Spanner
• B. Munch
• C. Williams
• D. Jones

Answer 1

The correct option is B Munch

Munch proposed translocation, because of differences in pressure (osmotic and consequently turgor) between the source i.e., region of synthesis and sink i.e., region of utilisation. This was mainly done by the conducting tissues present in the plants. The phloem helps in translocation of solute like sucrose and starch from source to sink.

So, the correct answer is option B.
