Answer:

The plants and the parts that are best known for containing sugar are: * Maize (aka sweet corn) has sugar in the seeds.

* Sugar beet and carrots both have sugar in the root.

* Sugar cane has sugar in the stem.

* Maple and aspen sap is harvested and dewatered to make a sugar syrup

* Almost all flowers contain sugar.Honey is almost 100% sugar. Though made by bees the sugar is from flowers The flowers of the coconut palm are distilled to produce "palm sugar".

* Most fruits contain sugar

Answer: Sugar is produced by a process known as photosynthesis. That reaction uses the energy in sunlight to convert carbon dioxide to sugar, cellulose and starches.

The parts of the plant that do this work are called photosynthetic reaction centers that contain chlorophyl (this compound gives the "green" to plants). The specific structures that hold the chlorophyl are called chloroplasts. Generally the leaves of plants contain many of the sugar producing sites as they hav alot of surface area to collect sunlight and extract carbon dioxide with the air. However, once produced the sugars are transported internally in the plants to fruit, flowers, roots or seeds by the sap, making these sweeter than the plant in general.
