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.

Sucrose, however, is much less reactive and as such can be transported much more easily without the risk of reacting with other substances.

Main function of fructose?
fructose...hmm i think you should aleady know this?? but i guess i might aswell tell you what it is anyways. Ok fructose is the hormone that is distributed throughout a plants brain. This hormone is extremely powerful as it cause plants to have many plant babies together! This hormone was discovered in the early 18th century by famous plant people, Sahar and Emma. These people are awsome and had such a broad knowledge on the world of plants, as they were half plant, half human.
Is fructose a sugar?
Yes. It is a sugar molecule naturally formed in some plants. I.e. fructose corn syrup.
What is the function of fructose?
Fructose is also called fruit sugar because it is the type of sugars made from fruit. Its full function depends up what it is located in but it is a carbohydrate which means that it functions as a source of energy.

What is the function of surcose in plants?
Sucrose's function in plants are that they are a major component in the structure tough walls of plants :) Hope this helped
What is main function of cuticle in plants'?
To retain the plants moisture.
Which molecule do plants use to store extra glucose?
Glucose can be stored in plants in several ways. In some plants , the glucose molecules join to one another to form starch molecules. Some plants convert glucose to fructose and the energy is stored in this form. In other plants, fructose combines with glucose to form sucrose. The energy is stored in carbohydrates in this form. Plant cells obtain energy for their activities from these molecules.
