Sucrose is converted into glucose and fructose by the enzyme:
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Invertase
In plants, sucrose is the end product of photosynthesis and is converted into the monosaccharides glucose and fructose by the enzyme invertase. These two sugars then enter the glycolytic pathway.
