Plants have a vascular system (analogous to ours) made of Xylem, cells which bring nutrients from the roots to the leaves, and Phloem, cells that move sugar from the leaves to the rest of the plant. when you bend or snap the stem, these "veins" can be broken, and will no longer transfer nutrients to and from the upper part of the plant, even standing the stem back up will not reconnect these. and, like cutting off circulation to your hand, the part not receiving nutrients will soon shrivel and die.

The table below shows the amount of carbohydrates in same-size servings of different fruits. Amount of Carbohydrates in Fruit 23
marta [7]

Answer:

As per the data provided, the correct answer would be cherries.

The effect of any food in increasing the blood sugar level can be understood with the help of glycemic load. It takes in the account of both the glycemic index as well as serving size.

It states that the glycemic response of our body depends on both "the type of carbohydrate and the amount of carbohydrate" consumed in a meal.

For example, glycemic response of small size high GI food is the same as that of large size low GI food.

It can be calculated as follows:

\text{glycemic load} = \frac{\text{glycemic index x net carbohydrate}}{100}

Hence, glycemic load of apple would be = (38 x 17)/100 = 6.4.

Similarly, glycemic load of cherries, oranges, and watermelons would be 4.18, 10, 8.6 respectively.

Hence, cherries are the fruit which has low glycemic load value of 4.18. So, the glycemic response of this fruit would be low. Hence, it will result increase the blood sugar by the least value.
