Phloem transports sugar in the form of
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Sucrose
Sugars are synthesized as glucose and fructose, translocated as sucrose and stored as starch for long-term storage in plants. Translocation of organic nutrients from the region of source or supply to the region of utilization is mostly in the form of sucrose. Sucrose is water soluble and more efficient in energy storage as compared to the glucose and fructose as well as glucose is more reactive and hence, phloem transports sugar in the form of sucrose.Thus, the correct answer is option B.
