Testing for glucose in the water which leaf is in?

... glucose but under the form of sucrose. Second, it's not that easy. you see the direct product of photosynthesis are organic trioses (sugars with 3 carbons). if these trioses are kept in the chloroplast, they are used to make starch. If they are exported into the cytoplasm, they are used to make ...

Re: "H - C = C - H" doesn't make sense chemically why?

... points out, the full valence of carbon is 4. It will prefer to share its four electrons with its bonding partners. The structure as drawn has the carbons sharing only three electrons (one for each bond) which means that each carbon has a non-bonded electron. That makes it an acetylene diradical. ...
