Sinks
Lesson Flashcards: Translocation in the Phloem Biology
The areas in a plant where sugars are transported to be used or stored and are, therefore, the destination points of translocation
Bidirectional
The name of the movement of substances like sucrose in more than one direction, up and down the plant
Sources
The areas in a plant where sugars are produced or stored and are, therefore, the starting points of translocation
