You can carry out a blood glucose test at home by using a blood glucose monitor. The test involves pricking your finger with a lancet, drawing a blood drop, and a test strip sipping up the blood for the monitor. A reading is given telling you the blood glucose level.

∙ 12y ago1. Place a small amount of glucose with some Benedict's solution in a test tube
2. Heat this by putting the test tube in a beaker of boiling water.
3. Once you've done this, the solution will turn from clear blue to cloudy green before changing again in colour to yellow and then lastly a precipate red copper (1) oxide will be deposited.

Chloroplasts have chlorophyll, mitochondria don't. Chloroplast carry out photosynthesis and produce glucose. Mitochondria carry out respiration and break down glucose
What is the three steps in performing chemical test for sugar and starchand able to conduct these test?
For starch, we carry out the iodine test. For this test, it's just adding a few drops of iodine solution to the solid on a white tile. If it turns blue-black, starch is present. For sugar, if you mean reducing sugar, we carry out the Benedict's test. Firstly, add 2cm^3 of Benedict's solution to 2cm^3 of glucose solution in a test tube and shake the mixture. Leave the test tube in a beaker of boiling water for 5 mins. As for the control experiment, repeat step 1 using 2cm^3 of distilled water in place of glucose solution.
