Why does sugar prolong the life of a cut flower?

Mainly, the sugar replaces the sugars the plant normally would be producing in either the high light environment of the greenhouse or out of doors. Even though the stem and leaves are probably still producing sugars indoors, the low light is not suitable for normal photosynthesis.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
