Food Delivery

Translocation is the process of getting the food or nutrients to the plant so it will be able to grow. Translocation can be used by phloem or xylem. In the process of phloem, the food is delivered in phloem and water in xylem. The xylem is driven by negative pressures by pressures and the phloem is driven by hydrostatic pressures. They both use active transport to get food and water to the plant.
