11The 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?
- AA Benedict’s solution = blue; iodine solution = blue-black
- BB Benedict’s solution = blue; iodine solution = brown
- CC Benedict’s solution = brick red; iodine solution = blue-black

12A human cell contains a length of DNA that carries the code for making which substance?
- AA fat
- BB glycogen
- CC lipase
- DD starch
13A student set up a test-tube containing starch, water and amylase.
How could the student test whether the amylase had digested all the starch?- AA Add Biuret solution.
- BB Add dilute hydrochloric acid.
- CC Add iodine solution.
- DD Weigh the test-tubes and contents before and after the experiment.
14When 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?- AA X = maltose; Y = amylase
- BB X = maltose; Y = lipase
- CC X = starch; Y = amylase
- DD X = starch; Y = lipase
