Answer:
probability of gettingstudent, clarify Ammu's doubt .
b) In which form is the food prepared by plants transported through the phloem ?
c) complete the table showing the various form in which food is stored in plants.
Answer:
1 Answer. Glucose is soluble , so it is converted to starch so that it can become insoluble and hence it cannot escape from cell , thus it can also be stored.
b) sucrose
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.
sugarcane , fruits - sucrose
potato , oil , butter , ghee - fats
Chickpeas, Peanuts, Black beans, Green peas - legumes
potatoes, yam, taro, Jerusalem artichoke - tubers
