Answer:
Reducing sugars are absent
Explanation:
Benedict's solution is an substance used in testing sugars. It is mixture of sodium carbonate, sodium citrate and copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate. It can be used instead of Fehling's solution in testing for the presence of reducing sugars.
Reducing sugars contain the -CHO group. If there is no colour change after the addition of Benedict's solution, then we can conclude that reducing sugars are absent.
Answer:
to separate the compounds by gravity
Explanation:
Centrifuging is the process of separating compound in a liquid mixture by means of gravity and settling. This makes use of the density principle. In the process, the sample is added to the centrifuge. This is then rotated at a certain speed, say 50 rpm. The circular motion creates a force of gravity that pulls the compounds downwards. This then separate the compounds. The heaviest and most dense go down first, then the lighter particles on the top.
It makes an ecosystem stable
