Starch cannot be transported in plants because it is

Options

  1. Apolymer of galactose.
  2. Bpresent in the storage form.
  3. Cstachyose.
  4. Dpolymer of sucrose.

Correct answer

B. present in the storage form.

Step-by-step solution

Starch is the polymer of glucose and is a plant storage polysaccharide. It is mobilized into glucose. Sucrose is the form of sugar transported through phloem during translocation. Since it is soluble and less reactive it is an ideal form of sugar to transport.
