Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sucrose is the major sugar transported to nonphotosynthesizing cells. Sucrose is synthesized in the mesophyll cells of leaves and transported through the phloem to other parts of the plant including nonphotosynthesizing cells such as roots, stems, and flowers. Once it reaches its destination, it can be broken down into glucose and fructose for energy.
