In order to detect glucose in a plant's leaf, you will need several items, including leaves, a beaker, a boiling tube, Tollen's reagent, and Fehling's reagent. If the leaf contains glucose, the test-tube containing the Tollen's reagent will turn a silver color.

Is glucose found in animals or plants?

Glucose is found in both plants and animals. Plants produce glucose by photosynthesis, and animals consume glucose (it is the first reactant for cellular respiration).


Why is the leaf tested for starch and not glucose to see if photosynthesis has taken place?

plants produce glucose through photosynthesis, and store it the form of starch which is nothing more than a chain of glucose molecules, the plants can use these starch reserves for energy in a pinch/in the dark

What chemical detects glucose?

A chemical called glucose oxidase is commonly used to detect glucose. This enzyme reacts with glucose in the presence of oxygen, producing hydrogen peroxide as a byproduct. The level of hydrogen peroxide produced is then typically measured as an indicator of the glucose concentration in a sample.
