In this lab, biology students were directed to use indicators as chemical detection tools, to analyze a variety of foods for the

presence of carbohydrates, lipids or proteins. One group of students was given four unmarked containers of sugars: glucose, sucrose, fructose, and galactose. How could they use the standard lab tests to find the sucrose?

Answer:

Benedict's test which is meant to detect non-reducing sugar like sucrose from reducing sugars like glucose, fructose or galactose can be used to identify sucrose.

Explanation:

Glucose, fructose and galactose are reducing sugars so they can easily be identified against non-reducing like sucrose. A reducing sugar is a kind of sugar which has a free aldehyde or ketone group. Free aldehyde and ketone groups act as a reducing agent and they are capable of reducing other substances. In this situation, the reducing sugar reduces other substances and themselves get oxidized. In contrast to this, a non-reducing sugar can not act as a reducing agent because it has lack of a free aldehyde or ketone group.

Benedict's test is a test which is used to identify a non reducing sugar from reducing sugars. In this test, a reducing sugar (Glucose, fructose or galactose) is heated with Benedict's solution which leads to the change of color of solution to orange-red/ brick red. But no such color change will be detected if sucrose is heated with Benedict's solution.

Compare renewable and nonrenewable resources, and discuss the effects of each on biodiversity.
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Renewable resources cannot disappear, non-renewables will not last forever. Non-renewable energy sources, such as coal, nuclear power, oil, and natural gas, are available in limited quantities.

Explanation:

A renewable resource, for example, is solar energy. It is renewable because the sun can never disappear.

Non-renewable resources take a long time to replenish, if this ever happens. Renewable resources naturally recharge over a relatively short period. Non-renewable resources are natural resources that exist in fixed quantities and can be utilized. Examples include fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas.

Both types of resources have a big influence on biodiversity and people shouldn't be spending them without limit.
