Detailed explanation-1: -Used by the majority of plants, it involves producing a three-carbon compound called 3-phosphoglyceric acid during the Calvin Cycle, which goes on to become a sugar called glucose.
Detailed explanation-2: -During photosynthesis, plants trap light energy with their leaves. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose. Glucose is used by plants for energy and to make other substances like cellulose and starch.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, the answer to the question is that glucose is converted into a sugar called sucrose to be moved around the plant in translocation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sucrose is the end product of photosynthesis and the primary sugar transported in the phloem of most plants.
