Translocation of carbohydrate nutrients usually occurs in the form of:
Correct answer: D. Sucrose
- A. Glucose
- B. Maltose
- C. Starch
- D. Sucrose
Explanation
Sucrose is the main form of translocated carbohydrate nutrient in plants. It is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose and is transported through the phloem from source (sites of production, e.g., leaves) to sink (sites of utilization, e.g., roots, fruits) tissues in plants. So the correct option is D.

About Circulation
The circulatory system covers the chambers, valves and conducting pathway of the human heart, along with the cardiac cycle and control of heartbeat. It compares arteries, veins and capillaries by structure and function, and explains how the lymphatic system returns tissue fluid, transports absorbed fats and supports immunity.
