The non-reducing sugar sucrose is most commonly translocated in the phloem rather than reducing sugar. Why?

 a.) because they are less reactive than their reducing counterparts

 b.) because sucrose contains more energy than a monosaccharides

 c.) because the ketone or aldehyde group is reduced to an alcohol or combined with a similar group on another sugar so as not to be oxidized

 Which one of the following statements is true about translocation of non-reducing sugar?

Following statements are given about cleavage in drosophila.

A. During the ninth division cycle, approximately five nuclei reach the surface of the anterior pole of the embryo. These nuclei become enclosed by cell membranes and generate the pole cells that give rise to the gametes of the adult.

B. During tenth division of cycle, the other nuclei migrate to the cortex (periphery) of the egg and at this stage, embryo is called a syncytial blastoderm .

C. When the nuclei reach the periphery of the egg during the tenth cleavage cycle, each nucleus becomes surrounded by microtubules and microfilaments. The nuclei and their associated cytoplasmic islands are called  transmembrane.

D. Following division cycle 13, the cell membrane (which had covered the egg) folds inward between the nuclei, eventually  partitioning off each energid into a single cell. This process creates the cellular blastoderm.
