Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Translocation is the movement of sugars and other organic materials through the phloem from the source (sites of production) to the sink (sites of utilization or storage). In a pine tree, photosynthesis mainly occurs in the needles, which act as sources, while actively growing buds, roots, and developing cones are sinks. Therefore, translocation always occurs from the sugar source (needles) to the sugar sink (buds, roots, and cones).
