How much glucose does an average tree produce in 24 hrs???

Question

i mean a green MAPLE TREE ( 8 meters in height)

Answer 1

Almost none.

"When maple syrup is made with a maple sap of high microbiological quality, almost all of the

sugars (which make up more than 98% of all the solids dissolved in it) is in the form of sucrose.

The sucrose molecule is made up of a chain of 12 carbon atoms (C12H22O11). Because of the

microbial enzymes contained in the maple sap, the sucrose, a non reducing sugar, goes through

an enzyme hydrolysis that splits the molecule into two reducing sugars, glucose and fructose.

Those sugars contain six carbon atoms each and have, in their anhydrous form, an identical

molecular mass of 180,16 g/mole (Figure 1). This phenomenon is called “inversion of the maple

syrup”. The mass of the glucose and the fructose expressed compared to the mass of the syrup

becomes the “Percentage of invert sugar” or “invert %”.

Sucrose H2O



Glucose + Fructose

C12H22O11 H2O

 C6H12O6 + C6H12O6

--------------

What the writer of the article means by high microbial quality is there are almost no bacteria, yeast or other funguses in the sap.

What he says is the bacteria cause the complex sugars (sucrose) to break down into the blood sugars (glucose) and fruit sugars (fructose).
