- disaccharides
- polysaccharides
monosaccharides such as?
glucose & fructose
disaccharides such as ?
sucrose (glucose linked to fructose)
polysaccharides such as ?
starch/glycogen/cellulose
monosaccharides such as glucose & fructose are ?
Reducing sugars
Benedict test identifies ?
Reducing sugars
if the solution turned green in a benedict test that means ?
there is a small amount of reducing sugar
A reddish orange in benedict test indicates ?
An abundance(large amount) amount of reducing sugars
glucose+benedict reagent whats the result
positive / Reddish orange solution
anything other than monosaccharides+benedict reagent =
negative / blue color solution
