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
Plants store small amount of carbs in the form of starch ? true or false
FALSE (LARGE AMOUNT)
