Question

Why plant transports sugar in the form of sucrose but not as monosaccharides?

Answer 1

Glucose, fructose and galactose are the three dietary monosaccharides. ... Being a complex structure, sucrose is not as much reactive as glucose. So plantsuses the sucrose as a medium to transfer energy. Inside the cells, sucrose is converted back to glucose andfructose.
