SUMMARY
In calibration curve graphing, it is unnecessary to include the blank point (0.00 concentration, 0.00 absorbance) when plotting the data. The calibration curve inherently adjusts for the blank value, allowing for accurate interpretation of the results without explicitly plotting the blank. This approach streamlines the graphing process while maintaining data integrity.
