The data show the concentrations of sugar and starch in an onion. The onion is tested with Benedict’s solution and iodine solution.
Which set of results is correct?
A Benedict’s solution = blue; iodine solution = blue-black
B Benedict’s solution = blue; iodine solution = brown
C Benedict’s solution = brick red; iodine solution = blue-black
D Benedict’s solution = brick red; iodine solution = brown
A human cell contains a length of DNA that carries the code for making which substance?
B glycogen
C lipase
A student set up a test-tube containing starch, water and amylase.
How could the student test whether the amylase had digested all the starch?
A Add Biuret solution.
B Add dilute hydrochloric acid.
C Add iodine solution.
D Weigh the test-tubes and contents before and after the experiment.
When solution X is tested with iodine solution, a blue-black colour is observed. A different solution, Y, is added to a new sample of solution X and the mixture is shaken and left for 30 minutes at 40 °C. When tested with iodine solution, an orange-brown colour is observed.
What are solutions X and Y?
A X = maltose; Y = amylase
B X = maltose; Y = lipase
C X = starch; Y = amylase
D X = starch; Y = lipase
Which row correctly identifies the chemical elements found in proteins?
The top diagram shows part of a starch molecule.
Which diagram shows this molecule after it has been completely digested?
Four foods were tested for: * fat (using ethanol), * protein (using the biuret test), * reducing sugar (using Benedict’s solution), * starch (using iodine solution).
