Sucrose Synthesis by D. DeWitt‚ PhD v1.5 11/10/12 Introduction | Condensation Reaction | Plant Synthesis | A. Introduction Although it might seem straight forward‚ the synthesis of sucrose‚ either as a simple condensation reaction (a.k.a. dehydration synthesis)‚ or what actually happens in plants is complicated. Before we explore sucrose’s creation‚ let’s take a look at its structure. In Figure 1‚ the space-filling model is pretty but rather useless at this point in our journey. We

there is no correlation between BMI and blood glucose concentration. This can be seen in Figure 1‚ where the R2 value obtained from the regression line of the scatter plot was low‚ with a value of 0.089. Fatty acid can be synthesized from simple carbohydrates like glucose; however other factors may be involved in inducing an increase on its own (Nelson & Cox‚ 2004). For subjects in category 1‚ where they had to drink glucose water had an increase in blood glucose concentration until the 60th minute
