What is the function of fructose in plants?

Answer 1

C12H22O11 Sucrose and starch are the end products of photosynthesis.

Sucrose, formed in the leaf cytosol, is transported through the phloem to the sink tissues where it is metabolized or stored in the vacuole.

During the night, sucrose is formed from starch, produced and stored in the chloroplasts during the day.

Answer 2

Glucose cannot be used because it is too reactive. It would mess up all of the reactions in the plant if glucose were to be used as the method of sugar transport.
Sucrose, however, is much less reactive and as such can be transported much more easily without the risk of reacting with other substances.

Answer 3

Fructose serves as a source of energy for plants through the process of photosynthesis. It is a simple sugar that is produced during the conversion of sunlight into chemical energy, which is then used by the plant for growth and development. Additionally, fructose is a component of fruits and nectar, attracting animals for pollination and seed dispersal.

Answer 4

Sucrose functions as a transport molecule between tissues. Transportation of food occurs between tissues that can photosynthesis and those that cannot.

Answer 5

Fruit taste's sweet, so that attracts animals, they eat teh fruit which causes for the seeds to disperse.

Answer 6

In plants, fructose is what makes fruits taste sweet which attracts animals and these then eat the fruits and disperse the seeds found in the fruits.
