Question

The immediate product of photosynthesis is glucose. Why is it then transported in the form of sucrose and stored as starch?

Answer 1

Answer:

Sucrose has more osmotic potential.. Helpful in transport

Starch is chemically nore stable than glucose.. Helpful in storage

Answer 2

Explanation:

since glucose is easily soluble in water it cannot be stored in plant body. Therefore , plants store glucose in the form of insoluble starch in leaves. Plants utilize starch as a source of energy for life activities and to prepare substances required for growth. Starch is later converted to sucrose and is transported through ploem to various plant parts and stored there in different forms
