Q. In which form does the food transported in plants?

JIPMERJIPMER 2009

Solution:

In plants food produced by photosynthesis is transported in the form of sucrose through phloem. It is estimated that $90 \%$ of the total solute carried in the phloem is the carbohydrate sucrose, a disaccharide which is relatively inactive and highly soluble sugar with little direct role in metabolism.
