arabinose‚ ribose‚ lactose‚ fructose‚ maltose‚ and cellobiose tested positively and therefore are considered reducing sugars. Glucose‚ starch‚ sucrose‚ and methyl-D-glucopyranoside on the other hand tested negatively and therefore are considered non-reducing sugars. Table 1.

of reducing sugar. iii) Different concentration of glucose solutions as indicator Different concentrations of glucose solutions are prepared as indicator. Apply Benedict’s test on those glucose solutions and use the result to compare the result from grape or dry raisin. Thus‚ the content of reducing sugar can be estimated. 3.

of blood glucose or blood sugar in the body in order to keep it from getting too high. The result of high blood glucose levels is Diabetes. Insulin metabolism becomes disordered‚ meaning its functions are altered in a certain way that the insulin cannot control the blood glucose concentrations. Diabetes is a group of metabolic

respiration? The raw materials are glucose and oxygen. 3. What is the simple reaction for cellular respiration? C6H12O6+6O2=6CO2+6H2O+Energy 4. Why is it not practical for an organism to release all of the energy in glucose at once? There wouldn’t be any energy left to repeat cellular respiration and create more energy. 5. List and briefly describe the events of the stages of respiration? Glycolysis is where glucose is split into two molecules of 3-carbon

The women probably wore size-four dresses and the men sported 32-inch waists. Overweight was something measured only by a few pounds; obesity rare. Overweight children? Almost never. Any 42-inch waists? Not here. Two-hundred-pound teenagers

is an example of a substrate? Lactase Lactose → Glucose + Galactose a. Lactose 2. During photosynthesis‚ plants use light energy to synthesize glucose from carbon dioxide. However‚ plants do not use up energy during photosynthesis; they merely convert it from light energy to chemical energy. This is an illustration of: a. The first law of thermodynamics 3. Which would be an example of catalyst in action? a. A protein converting glucose and fructose into sucrose without being changed itself

glycogen and starch is glucose (homopolysaccharides). 3. How do starch and glycogen differ structurally? * Starch‚ a complex carbohydrate‚ is a polymer of glucose molecules. It occurs in two main forms: amylose and amylopectin Characteristic | Amylose | Amylopectin | Chain | Straight chain | Highly branched | Linkage | 1-4 glycosidic linkage | Both 1-4 and 1-6 glycosidic linkage | % in Starch | 15-20% | 80-85% | No. of Units | 300-500 monomer units | 25-30 glucose units | Molecular

occurs to break down the stored nutrients for the body to use. Glycolysis is the catabolic process in which glucose is converted into pyruvate via ten enzymatic steps. There are three regulatory steps‚ each of which is highly regulated. There are two phases of Glycolysis. The first is known as the "priming phase‚" because it requires an input of energy in the form of 2 ATPs per glucose molecule. The second phase is known as the "pay off phase‚” because energy is released in the form of 4 ATPs‚
