Use your standard curve to calculate the amount of glucose(mg) produced from the standard sucrose solution. Compare this with the amount of glucose expected from the amount of sucrose used?

Explanation / Answer

this one is the equation of straight line which you you might have got for standard solutions you used for calibration

y=mx +c

here Concentration=x and Absorbance A=y

you might have determied the absorbance of your unknown sample (y-intercept value) whose value could be pluged in this equation which gives you the value of concentration of unown sample

y = 0.5071x + 0.0075

here 0.5071=dy/dx=m is slope of straight line and 0.0075=c is the x-intercept when y=0 i.e the absorbance of blank solution

In the end you can compare this amount of glucose produced with the amount that might have been produced by the addition of sucrose
