(A) The mass flow or pressure flow hypothesis for the translocation of organic food was proposed by Munch $(1930)$.According to this hypothesis,organic substances are transported from an area of higher osmotic pressure to an area of lower osmotic pressure.This occurs due to the development of a turgor pressure gradient.The flow of the organic solution takes place from a region of higher turgor pressure (source) to an area of lower turgor pressure (sink) or the site of utilization.
