Question

Select 2 that apply.

What substances move down in translocation?

starch

water

organic molecules

sugar

dissolved minerals

Answer 1

- organic molecules
- sugar

Reason: Translocation refers to phloem transport, which carries sugars and other organic solutes from sources (leaves) to sinks (roots, fruits). Water and dissolved minerals mainly move in the xylem, and starch is stored in cells rather than transported in the phloem.
