Question

List out the non photosynthetic parts of the plant that need a supply of sucrose

Answer 1

The non-photosynthetic parts of the plant include any parts that lack chlorophyll, such as the roots, woody stems, fruits, and seeds. These parts of the plant do not contain chlorophyll, and thus are unable to capture light energy from the Sun. They rely on photosynthetic parts of the plant, such as the leaves and parts of the stem to do photosynthesis. In vascular plants, the nutrients produced during photosynthesis are transported to non-photosynthetic parts of the plant through the phloem. Phloem is a vascular tissue designed to transport glucose and other nutrients produced during photosynthesis to parts of the plant that are non-photosynthetic, such as the roots.
