1 of x AS/A-LEVEL BIOLOGY Transport of organic compounds in plants - translocation To be used alongside AQA AS/A-level Biology transport of organic compounds teaching notes Copyright © 2015 AQA and its licensors. All rights reserved. Version 1.0

2 of x Overview Copyright © 2015 AQA and its licensors. All rights reserved. During photosynthesis, organic compounds are synthesised in a plant’s leaves –The leaves act as a source Most of these organic compounds are moved to parts of the plant that are actively growing, to storage organs or to seeds –These regions act as sinks Transport is from source to sink Transport occurs in the phloem tissue Version 1.0

3 of x Location of phloem Version 1.0 Copyright © 2015 AQA and its licensors. All rights reserved. Note the close association between phloem and xylem in all parts of plant

4 of x Evidence that transport of organic compounds occurs in the phloem Copyright © 2015 AQA and its licensors. All rights reserved. 14 C used to label organic compounds – subsequent autoradiography shows labelled compounds are in the phloem The bark of a tree contains the active phloem – remove a ring of bark and downward movement of organic compounds stops where bark removed Sap-sucking insect – piercing mouthpart found to be in phloem and sap removed via piercing mouthpart found to contain organic compounds Version 1.0

5 of x Structure of phloem Copyright © 2015 AQA and its licensors. All rights reserved. Two types of cell Sieve tube elements –Stacked one on top of another –No nucleus, thin layer of cytoplasm around large central ‘vacuole’, few organelles, P-protein in cytoplasm –Large pores in end walls (sieve plates) with cytoplasm passing from element to element –Smaller pores in side walls with strands of cytoplasm (plasmodesmata) running through to adjacent: Companion cells –Smaller cells with nucleus, cytoplasm and organelles –Each controls activity of adjacent sieve tube element

6 of x Two sieve tube elements Copyright © 2015 AQA and its licensors. All rights reserved. This slide was taken using an optical microscope It shows a sieve plate between two adjacent sieve tube elements Notice: –the pores (p) in the sieve plate –very little cytoplasm in the sieve tube elements

9 of x Transport in the phloem (1) Copyright © 2015 AQA and its licensors. All rights reserved. Loading from source In the leaves, solutes are passed from photosynthesising cells into the companion cells of the phloem The companion cells then load the solutes into the sieve tube elements via plasmodesmata ATP hydrolysis is involved in this transfer

10 of x Transport in the phloem (2) Copyright © AQA and its licensors. All rights reserved. Pressure flow from source to sink Entry of solutes into sieve tube elements lowers their water potential (makes the water potential more negative) As a result, water enters the sieve tube elements from the surrounding xylem vessels This increases the pressure within the sieve tube elements, pushing their contents through the pores in the sieve plates

11 of x Transport in phloem (3) Copyright © 2015 AQA and its licensors. All rights reserved. Unloading to a sink As solutes are pushed down a pressure gradient, they are surrounded by cells with a lower solute concentration Solutes leave the phloem into these cells, lowering their water potential Water leaves the phloem by osmosis, returned to the surrounding xylem and is re-circulated Cells in the sink use, or store, the solutes
