A) It is a disaccharide
B) It is a non-reducing sugar
C) It accumulates in the cytoplasm
D) It is comprised of maltose and fructose
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Out of the options given the incorrect statement for sucrose is that it is comprised of maltose and fructose because sucrose is a disaccharide made from glucose and fructose units. It is a non-reducing sugar because it does not have a free aldehyde or ketone group. During the transportation of sucrose from source to sink through phloem it gets accumulated in the cytoplasm of the cell, after getting hydrolysed into glucose and fructose.You need to login to perform this action.
