Glucose is transported as sucrose. It is non reducing and readily soluble.

Glucose
This compound is starch.
No, water is not a carbohydrate.
As we know, transpiration means the evaporation of water vapour from the leaves etc. As the water evaporates, there is a decrease in pressure in the plant which in turn helps the root to absorb water and as the water transpires the water in the root is sucked upward by pressure and hence is transported to each and every part of plant. As the minerals are dissolved in the water (in small quantities) they are also transported through the same medium. this saves energy for the plant.
Cellulose is a carbohydrate.
Carbohydrate molecules are compounds of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in various proportions.
Glycogen
How do you calculate the carbohydrate in given plant material?
Cellulose.

If by "food" you mean the product of photosynthesis, this is transported through the plant (from the leaves and green parts) by the Phloem vessels - this is generally in a downward direction. If by "food" you mean nutrients that are absorbed from the soil, these are absorbed in solution by the roots and then transported in an upward direction throughout the plant by the Xylem vessels
The Xylem of a plant transports water and some nutrients.
Starch, Glycogen
Glucose is found in the solid state and is transported to all the parts of a plant.
In basic terms, sugars are manufactured during photosynthsis.These are then transported around the plant and used for energy.
Sugar is transported through a plant by the "veins" in the plant called phloem. Xylem is the other transportation system that transports water.
Water is transported through xylem. Sugars are transported though phloem.
