11To test for a reducing sugar:
1. Mix equal volumes of [blank_start]Benedict's reagent[blank_end] and sample solution
2. Heat to at least [blank_start]70[blank_end] degrees C
3. If a [blank_start]reducing[blank_end] sugar is present, the solution will turn from [blank_start]blue[blank_end] to a [blank_start]red[blank_end] precipitae- ABenedict's reagent

- Lorange
- Mpurple
- Nred
- Ored
- Pblue
- Qorange
- Rwhite
12All monosaccharides are reducing sugars
- ATrue
- BFalse
13The test for a non-reducing sugar is:
- AAdd hydrochloric acid to sample and heat. Add benedict's reagent and heat again. Colour change from blue to white precipitate
- BAdd hydrochloric acid to sample and heat. Add benedict's reagent and heat again. Colour change from blue to red precipitate
- CAdd hydrochloric acid to sample and heat. Add alkali. Add benedict's reagent and heat again. Colour change from blue to white precipitate
- DAdd hydrochloric acid to sample and heat. Add alkali. Add benedict's reagent and heat again. Colour change from blue to red precipitate
14You can test for [blank_start]sucrose[blank_end] by adding sucrase enzymes to the sample. These enzymes [blank_start]hydrolyse[blank_end] sucrose into glucose and [blank_start]glucose[blank_end]. Adding [blank_start]benedicts reagent[blank_end] will show if sucrose is present and the approximate concentration of the solution.

- Bmaltose
- Chydrolyse
- Dcondense
- Eglucose
- Ffructose
- Gbenedicts reagent
- Hiodine solution
15Polysaccharides are formed from 5 monosaccharides
- ATrue
- BFalse
16Glucose causes a change in water potential in cells. This is avoided by converting glucose to starch for storage. How does this help the plant? (tick the boxes containing the correct answers)
- AStarch is insoluble - it has no osmotic effect
- BStarch cannot diffuse out of the cell
- CStarch is a compact molecule and can be stored in small spaces
- DStarch carries a lot of energy in C-C and C-H bonds
- EStarch is unreactive and therefore won't combine with other molecules
17Starch is made of [blank_start]alpha[blank_end]-glucose molecules bonded together in two different ways, forming [blank_start]amylose[blank_end] and amylopectin.
-Amylose is linear and [blank_start]unbranched[blank_end] with 1-[blank_start]4[blank_end] glycosidic bonds. It coils to form a [blank_start]helix[blank_end]
-Amylopectin has chains of 1-[blank_start]4[blank_end] glycosidic bonds. It also has branches which are joined to the 1-4 chain by 1-[blank_start]6[blank_end] glycosidic bonds. Amylopectin is a [blank_start]branched[blank_end] molecule- Aalpha

18You can test for starch by adding iodine solution. The colour change will be orange/brown to blue/purple
- ATrue
- BFalse
19The main storage product in animals is [blank_start]glycogen[blank_end]. It has a1-4 and a1-6 glycosidic bonds making it similar to [blank_start]amylopectin[blank_end], however it has shorter 1-4 chains making it more [blank_start]branched[blank_end].

- Dcellulose
- Eamylopectin
- Famylose
- Gbranched
- Hlinear
20Cellulose is a structural polysaccharide. It is an important component of [blank_start]cell walls[blank_end] in plants. Cellulose is made up of [blank_start]beta[blank_end]-glucose monomers joined by beta-1-[blank_start]4[blank_end]-glycosidic bonds. The beta link rotates each monosaccharide by [blank_start]180[blank_end] degrees. [blank_start]Hydrogen[blank_end] bonds form between the OH groups on adjacent molecules in parallel chains giving strength. When cellulose molcules become cross linked bundles called microfibrils form. Microfibrilis bundle up to form [blank_start]fibres[blank_end].
