Most carbohydrates manufactured in leaves and other photosynthetic parts are transported through the phloem to the rest of the plant by the process of translocation. osmosis. transpiration. receptor-mediated transport. turgor pressure.

Translocation

Explanation:

Translocation is the movement of sugar that is produced by the source( i.e the part of plants where sugar is produced for other plant parts which could be leaves) to the sinks( i.e the active growing parts of plants where sugar is been deposited for use) where it is used up.

Translocation is done through the phloem tissue to sinks. Sinks could include leaves, fruits, shoots, young developing seeds, tubers and stems.

Translocation is done through the pressure flow model where concentration of sugar that is high at the source creates a low solute potential which helps water movement into the phloem from the adjacent xylem. This movement creates a high pressure potential in the phloem that produce the movement of phloem sap by bulk flow from source to sink.

the oldest known insects are believed to live around 400 millions ago as suggested by the fossil records.   some plants having woody stems also evolved during this time.

after the evolution of insects the first four legged species or the tetrapods evolved in shallow freshwater habitats from the intermediate species approximately 397 million years ago. the tetrapods went on conquering the land giving rise to amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds.

the major split in tetrapods first occurred 340 million years ago branching off from amphibians.

363 million years ago when the carboniferous period began the insects started roaming on land and taking flights, following which the four limbed tetrapods adapted in the terrestrial habitat.
