How is food translocted in plants?

Plz experts help

Dear Student, Translocation occurs through the  part of vascular tissue known as phloem.Phloem also transports carbohydrates, amino acids and other substances such as plant hormone which are made in tips of roots and shoots to the storage and growing organs.Food is synthesized in plants in the form of hexose sugars, like glucose and fructose. Fruits are specially rich in fructose. Hence, fructose is also called as fruit sugar. Sugars are transported in the form of disaccharide sugar sucrose.
