Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process by which carbohydrates and other organic molecules are transported through the phloem from source (leaves) to sink (rest of the plant) is called translocation. Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and is not directly involved in carbohydrate transport. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane and is not directly involved in carbohydrate transport. Receptor-mediated transport is a process where specific molecules are transported into the cell by binding to specific receptors on the cell membrane and is not directly involved in carbohydrate transport. Turgor pressure results from the movement of water into plant cells and is not directly involved in carbohydrate transport.
