Final answer:
Adding glycosidase to sucrose dissolved in water would not effectively convert it to glucose as sucrose hydrolysis requires the specific enzyme sucrase, which cleaves the disaccharide into glucose and fructose.
Step-by-step explanation:
If glycosidase is added to a glass of sucrose dissolved in water, it generally would not convert the sucrose to glucose because glycosidases are a group of enzymes that target specific glycosidic bonds, and sucrose requires a specific enzyme known as sucrase for its hydrolysis.
Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose, and the enzymatic hydrolysis of sucrose through sucrase results in the production of these two monosaccharides. Therefore, a generic glycosidase would not typically be effective at converting sucrose specifically to glucose.
