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?

Phloem loading in the apoplastic pathway thought to mediate the transport of sucrose from the apoplast into the sieve element– companion cell complex. Which of the following are involved in such sucrose transporting by apoplast?
a) Sucrose is at a higher concentration in the sieve element–companion cell complex indicates that sucrose is actively transported against its chemical-potential gradient
b) Sugars transport from the apoplast into the sieve elements and companion cells energy driven process
c) Phloem loading in the apoplastic pathway involves a sucrose–H+ symporter
d) the route of phloem loading is−mesophyll cells→ bundle sheath cells→ phloem parenchyma cell→ ordinary companion cell→ sieve elements

Many of the carriers of Sucrose–H+ symporters in the phloem play various role in transport, most of the transporters are found in source, path, and sink tissues. Some carriers are characterized such as;
a) SUT1, has high-affinity / low-capacity transporter found in the minor veins of source tissues, appears to be important in phloem loading.
b) Important role of SUT1 in phloem loading appears to be complemented by SUT4, which is low-affinity/high-capacity carrier
c) SUT2, appears to function as a sucrose sensor. This is indicated by findings showing that SUT2 is more highly expressed in sink and path tissues than in source leaves.
d) The major sucrose transporters in phloem loading into the companion cells and final uptake into companion cells appears to be the function of SUT4
Which of the following combination is correct?
