Question

I realize this is the mathematics section, however, I am not getting much help in the science section. I have a very simple question, that I need answered please :)

Question Below:
If a fruit has more sucrose does it have a larger volume?

Answer 1

I think that it does... Right?

Answer 2

@tkhunny

Answer 3

More sucrose than what? It is not a good question.

Answer 4

What I mean is... If you were to put more sucrose in a fruit than it already has, would it have a larger volume than it's original?

@tkhunny

Answer 5

well
\(\large sucrose=glucose~+~fructose\)

so there is a direct relation between the two
so more the sucrose more will be the glucose

Answer 6

Okay. So... is it true that the more glucose the higher volume? Because then, wouldn't it be that the more sucrose the higher volume?

@imqwerty

Answer 7

There are chemicals that fit together nicely and do not increase volume when small amounts are added. Are you SURE this isn't one of them?

If you already have glucose, it's unlikely that adding more will not increase the volume.

Answer 8

Oh okay, I see. So my thinking is correct, right? The more glucose the higher the volume.

Answer 9

well the fruits are used to store sucrose
and the sucrose can be concentrated to a limit inside a fruit till it reaches saturation level.

lets take an example :)
we have 2 mangoes both of same size
one is less sweeter and one is more sweeter

the one more sweeter has more sucrose
the less sweeter has less sucrose

here we can see that even tho both mangoes are of same size the sucrose level in both is different

Answer 10

Ohh okay!! Thank you so much for all your help!! I understand a lot more now! :) Both of you guys helped greatly! :)
