Sucrose, Fructose, and Glucose

Post by jchoe »

I just recorded the amount of glucose there are after adding the intervase to the sucrose solution. What is there is no clear linear time point when the glucose first leveled off?

Hi there,

Is this the project you are trying to do? https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p035.shtml

If you are following that procedure, you need to first determine when the glucose leveled off. If you did not find that point, you need to keep measuring until you do. Once you find that, you go back to half that concentration to find your linear time point. (https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... #procedure)

I hope that helps. Please post again (in this same thread) if you still have questions.
