Answer:water diffuses into the phloem from the xylem and sucrose moves to the sink

Explanation:Translocation is the movement of ready produced food substances from the site of production to places in the plant where food is needed. such as the roots.the place where food is produced is called the source, the the place where food is used up is called the sink.the leaves are the source in a plant.photsoynthates, which is the plant manufactired food, may move up and down the stem ,majorly to areas of storage and growth.

Surose is the major intermediate product of photosynthesis.it is the form in which sugar is transported.it is conducted by the phloem vessels.this takes place in the long sieve elements that forms the sieve tubes

The high percentage of sucrose in the phloem sap causes water to pass into it from the xylem. This then causes the sap to move from source to sink.

At the sink, sucrose diffuses out of the phloem.it is either stored up or used for growth and repairs

Soils contain small or trace amounts of many minerals, including the chemical elements phosphorus, calcium, potassium, magnesium
serg [7]

Answer:

Magnesium, calcium, phosphorous, sulfur these are essential nutrients for plants. These are required in trace quantity but are very important for plant life. Point A. will be correct answer.

Explanation:

As in B. starch n cellulose are composed of only carbon, oxygen and hydrogen.

As in C. These elements are not required on special occasion but are necessary throughout plant life.

As in D.  C H N O  is the primary component plants need but these secondary nutrients are equally necessary for growth n structure of plant.

<u><em>So answer A. Is the correct option.</em></u>

Calcium plays the most important role in structure formation of plants. Also act as messenger molecule in signaling. Deficiency  of calcium caused wilting , weakened stem and ultimately death of plant.

Magnesium is the key element in chlorophyll molecule. It is necessary for chlorophyll formation.

Sulfur is another very important element in plant life, it is necessary for protein synthesis in plants.

Phosphorous plays an important role in  process of cell devision , photosynthesis and respiration.

Potassium is very crucial in gaseous exchange ,it operates the opening and closing of stomata.
