Tag: Sucrose synthesis

Did you know that sucrose is the primary form of carbohydrate transported in most plants? We delve into the critical biochemical process answering the question: how is glucose made into sucrose, examining the enzymatic pathway that enables this vital sugar synthesis.

In a biological process vital to plant energy storage, a single molecule of water is released when glucose and fructose join. This fundamental reaction of glucose and fructose to sucrose is a type of chemical process called dehydration synthesis.
