Vedclass · Answer

(B) The translocation of sugar (phloem transport) is an energy-dependent process that requires $ATP$. Photosynthesis is the process of synthesizing food (sugars) using light energy. While light is essential for photosynthesis to produce sugars,the translocation of these sugars from the source to the sink requires significantly less light intensity compared to the light intensity required for the optimal rate of photosynthesis. Therefore,the light intensity required for translocation is less than that required for photosynthesis.

Intensity of light required for the translocation of sugar as compared to photosynthesis is:
