Options

  1. Atranslocation of food due to Turgor Pressure (TP) gradient and imbibition force
  2. Btranslocation of food due to Turgor Pressure (TP) gradient
  3. Ctranslocation of food due to imbition force
  4. DNone of the above

Correct answer

B. translocation of food due to Turgor Pressure (TP) gradient

Step-by-step solution

Munch hypothesis is based on the movement of phloem sap along a turgor pressure gradient. The mass flow of organic solutes takes place from the site of higher concentration, (source) to the site of lower concentration (sink).
