Starch is formed within chloroplasts and serves as an intermediate deposit for the products of carbon fixation, but sucrose is synthesized within the cytosol, transiently stored in the vacuole and exported via the phloem system to photosynthetically inactive parts of the plant.

No - GLUCOSE is synthesized in the stroma during the Calvin Cycle or light-independent reactions.
