The correct Answer is:
To answer the question, "A plant organ having high concentration of food will serve as a," we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Structure of Plants**: - Plants are composed of various organs that perform specific functions. The primary organs include leaves, stems, and roots. 2. **Identify the Function of Each Organ**: - **Leaves**: The primary site for photosynthesis, where food (glucose) is produced. - **Roots**: Primarily involved in water and nutrient absorption; they can also store food. - **Stems**: Support the plant and can also transport nutrients and water. 3. **Define Source and Sink**: - In plant physiology, the terms "source" and "sink" are used to describe the flow of nutrients: - **Source**: An organ that produces or stores food (high concentration of food). - **Sink**: An organ that consumes or stores food (lower concentration of food). 4. **Identify the Source**: - Since the question asks for an organ with a high concentration of food, we need to identify which organ serves as a source. - The leaves are the primary source because they are where photosynthesis occurs, resulting in a high concentration of food (sugars). 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that a plant organ having a high concentration of food will serve as a **source**. ### Final Answer: A plant organ having high concentration of food will serve as a **source**. ---
