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.

What are ways of applying physics in post harvest practices​
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Explanation:

post harvesting process occurs after harvesting to reduces losses of agricultural produce.

Various machines and equipment are used in post harvest process and it requires expertise such as physics to help understand how best the equipment can function and give the desired result.

Some of the appliances are built by physics and can be modified by them.

The study of moisture content in relation to equipment been built and how it can be maintained is an example of understanding work in physics.

Heat and temperature are on of the chief factor afternoon post harvest losses that is managed by physics to produce and equipment that can further give the best result and also ensure safety.

Agrophysics is a branch of physics that links agriculture with physics.

Suppose you remove your test cultures from the incubator and notice that one of them—a known fermenter—has a gas bubble in the D
olasank [31]

Answer:

When the test culture was removed from the incubator and there was gas bubble in it.The gas bubble produced from the test tube is nitrogen. But if the addition of the zinc and other reagent in the culture and there is no response.

It suggest that the nitrates is being used by the bacteria. The bacteria inside can be aerobic and facultative anaerobic.

They can be gram negative microorganism and yes the occurrence states that the test was successful if the test was about facultative anaerobic and aerobic.
