Match List I with List II List I (Types of translocation) List II (Path of translocation) (A). Radial translocation (I). From leaves to growing point of stem (B). Tangential translocation (II). From phloem to pith (C). Upward translocation (III). From leaves to roots (D). Downward translocation (IV). From phloem to cortex Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- A(A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
- B(A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III)
- C(A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
- D(A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
Correct answer
B. (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III)
Step-by-step solution
Radial translocation is the lateral movement of organic solutes from the phloem to the pith. Tangential translocation is the lateral movement of organic solutes from the phloem to the cortex. Upward translocation is the movement of synthesized food from the leaves to the growing points of the stem, developing flowers, and fruits. Downward translocation is the movement of synthesized food from the leaves to the roots for utilization and storage. Thus, the correct matching is (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) -
