sucrose is the storage form of glucose in leaves... and it may also starch.
When sucrose is digested, it is broken down into its two constituent monosaccharides: glucose and fructose. These monosaccharides can then be absorbed into the bloodstream and used for energy production in the body.
Glucose is more easily digested by humans because it is a simple sugar that can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream without needing to be broken down further. Sucrose, on the other hand, is a disaccharide that needs to be broken down into its individual glucose and fructose components before it can be absorbed.
The enzyme involved in the catalytic breakdown of sucrose is sucrase, also known as invertase. This enzyme hydrolyzes sucrose into its constituent monosaccharides, glucose and fructose, by adding water to the glycosidic bond between them. Sucrase is crucial in various biological processes, especially in digestion, where it helps convert sucrose from dietary sources into simpler sugars that can be absorbed by the body.
The organ responsible for secreting sucrose is the plant's leaves, specifically through the process of photosynthesis. During this process, plants convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose, which can then be converted into sucrose for transport. Sucrose is primarily transported through the phloem, the vascular tissue responsible for distributing nutrients throughout the plant.

I can't give you an exact answer but I know it is absorbed more slowly than glucose ( the fastest to be absorbed) and sucrose. Because of this, it is Ok for diabetics, in moderation.

Yes it does.

The glucose monosaccharide would be absorbed more easily than the disaccharide.
Potato tubers make glucose by degrading sucrose (cane sugar). Sucrose is the end-product of photosynthesis and is transported from the leaves through the phloem to the tuber.
Leaves absorb mostly red and blue light but reflect or transmit green light, which is why they appear green to our eyes. Therefore, green light is the color least absorbed by leaves.
The carbohydrate transported around the plant is sucrose. Sucrose is produced in the leaves through photosynthesis and then transported via the phloem to other parts of the plant for energy or storage.
