Verified
Movement of soluble organic material through plants is known as ____.
A) translocation
B) active transport
C) passive transport
D) transpiration
E) cohesion-tension
Translocation
The movement of substances, such as nutrients and hormones, within an organism, particularly within plants through the phloem.
Active Transport
The movement of substances across cell membranes against a concentration gradient, requiring energy.
Passive Transport
The movement of ions and other molecular substances across cell membranes without the need for energy input.
- Recognize the movement of solutes in plants, particularly focusing on translocation and its directional flow.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Translocation is the movement of soluble organic material through plants. Active transport refers to the movement of molecules against a concentration gradient with the help of ATP, while passive transport refers to the movement of molecules with a concentration gradient without the use of ATP. Transpiration refers to the loss of water vapor from plants, and cohesion-tension theory explains how water is transported through xylem in plants.
