Question

Plant transfers glucose in the form of sucrose in order to

• A. Increase energy storage
• B. Provide efficient energy transfer
• C. Remove it in between reactions
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All of the above

Starch and sucrose are more efficient forms in which the energy can be stored when compared to glucose. The starch is not soluble in water. Hence, the sucrose which is soluble in water is the form which is used for transport. This structural form increases the efficient energy transfer. Sucrose is not as reactive as glucose. This helps to prevent the chemical reactions which can convert the sucrose while transport.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
