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.

In which section of the text would you locate information about kings role in the early civil rights movement?
koban [17]

Answer: A. Peaceful protests

Explanation:

You included no text and neither did you reference one but this should be the correct answer.

Martin Luther King Jr. was known for his non-violent style of protests that would ensure that the government would not use any violence that ensues as pretext to shutdown the protest.

In organizing peaceful protests, King made civil rights marches and the movement in general more effective because they would stage longer protests that the government would have little justification for shutting down. It also drew more empathy from people for the movement who listened to the message and not the violence.
