Well I don't exactly grow but thinking on a logical basis anything anytime you could take something that was previously stationary and make it optional mobile or stationary that's upping your capabilities. So when reducing your question to a logic basis just observing the English language the question your asking makes no sense.


And of course it is always better to increase your learning obviously obviously it's not a waste of time to learn something

A mobile element is one that can travel through the phloem while immobile elements can only travel via xylem.

Ions with a charge of -1 or +1 tend to be mobile, while ions with a charge of +2 tend to be immobile, Mg++ being an exception.

The xylem is used to transport water and nutrients from the roots, up only.

The phloem carries photosynthate product (including non-structural carbon flux, aka sugars) up and down the plant.

Are you talking about Mobile Elements. Those are the chemicals that the plant can move around when the plant is short on them.

Nutrients are moved inside a plant to where they are most needed. For example, a plant will try to supply more nutrients to its younger leaves than to its older ones. When nutrients are mobile, symptoms of any deficiency become apparent first on the older leaves. However, not all nutrients are equally mobile. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are mobile nutrients, while the others have varying degrees of mobility. When a less mobile nutrient is deficient, the younger leaves suffer because the nutrient does not move up to them but stays in the older leaves. This phenomenon is helpful in determining which nutrients a plant may be lacking.
