    The diagram below is a model demonstrating the mass flow hypothesis of translocation. What are the structures represented by W, X, Y and Z and what is the direction of flow of solution along W?

    A)                                                        Phloem - W      Xylem - X     Roots - Y      Leaves - Z    Direction of flow along W -from Z to Y

    B) Phloem - W      Xylem - X     Roots - Z      Leaves - Y    Direction of flow along W -from Y to Z

    C) Phloem - X       Xylem - W    Roots - Z      Leaves - Y    Direction of flow along W -from Z to Y

    D) Phloem - X       Xylem - W    Roots - Z      Leaves - Y    Direction of flow along W -from Y to Z

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Y represents the site of photosynthesis, where more glucose has been manufactured, whilst there is less glucose in the medium where the roots Z are placed in. W thus is the phloem where the photosynthates are transported from the leaves Y to the roots Z. X is the xylem which helps in the transportation of water from the roots Z to the leaves Y.
