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

VMMC MedicalVMMC Medical 2012

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.
