  • translocation
    • sucrose is produced in the source (an organ that produces more sugars than it requires) and these need to be sent to the sink (an organ which will consumes sugars for its growth)
      • the phloem transports carbohydrates and sucrose through the phloem (phloem conducts carbohydrates and sucrose)
        • energy from respiration is needed to transport sucrose
        • phloemis a living cell so it can do active transport.
