Worked practice questions

The **major channel** for translocation of food (sucrose) in plants is:

  1. Xylem
  2. Phloem (specifically sieve tubes)
  3. Both equally
  4. Cortex
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Phloem (specifically sieve tubes)

Phloem (sieve tubes, with companion cells) carries sugars, amino acids and other organic molecules from source (leaves) to sink (roots, fruits, growing points). Xylem carries water + minerals upward only. Food translocation can be bidirectional (e.g. seasonally to/from storage).
