Answer:
Sucrose is formed in the cytosol of photosynthesizing cells from fructose and glucose and is then transported to other parts of the plant. This process is favorable for two reasons: Sucrose contains more energy than a monosaccharide, so it is more energy efficient, both in transport as in storage.

Answer:
Sucrose is formed in the cytosol of photosynthesizing cells from fructose and glucose and is then transported to other parts of the plant. This process is favorable for two reasons: Sucrose contains more energy than a monosaccharide, so it is more energy efficient, both in transport as in storage. Sucrose has a low viscosity even at high concentrations (soluble to several molar) and has no reducing end and is thus considered more inert than glucose , which is the major transport form in animals. During photosynthesis, glucose is produced. Before it is transported it is converted to sucrose.
