Bidirectional translocation of solutes takes place in:
Correct answer: D. Phloem
- A. Parenchyma
- B. Cambium
- C. Xylem
- D. Phloem
Explanation
Bidirectional translocation of solutes takes place in the phloem. The phloem is responsible for transporting organic compounds, such as sugars and amino acids, throughout the plant in both upward (from the leaves to other parts) and downward (from the source to the sink) directions. This bidirectional movement of solutes is essential for the distribution of nutrients and energy to different parts of the plant. So option D is correct.
