What is the major advantage of structured illumination microscopy (SIM)?

#Unit 13. Methods in Biology
  1. SIM is particularly suited for live cell imaging as it is not very phototoxic and allows for a high temporal resolution
  2. The resolution in lateral dimension is below 5 nm
  3. It combines fluorescence microscopy and electron microscopy allowing to study small structures in great details
  4. Sample in SIM are coated with metal ions

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?
