Answer:-

People with diabetes must monitor their blood glucose levels constantly.

Blood glucose levels are nowadays measured by the help of enzyme glucose oxidase. The enzyme glucose oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of glucose to gluconic acid.

By this way all of the glucose is measured at one time. At the same time hydrogen peroxide is produced.

The hydrogen peroxide reacts with a second color producing chemical. The concentration of the glucose can be related to the intensity of color produced

If you know the mass of an object you can calculate its weight with the formula

Vikki [24]

Answer: True

The formula of weight is w = mg, where m is the mass and g is the acceleration of gravity. If you want to calculate an object's weight, you need to know the two components: mass and gravity.

You only need to know the mass of the object because the acceleration of gravity is ALWAYS (assuming the object is on Earth) 9.8 m/s^2.
