How can carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins be detected in foods?

6 0

The Benedict’s Test is the test which can detect carbohydrates and glucose in foods. During this process, the sample or the food is placed into a test tube and then some drops of Benedict's solution is added to it,and is then put into a beaker of boiling water. When the mixture of food and the Benedict substance turns reddish orange instead of staying blue, this means that it is positive. The mixture has simple sugar or has carbohydrates or glucose. On the other hand, lipids are tested using the brown paper test. When the paper turns transparent when a drop of food is put into it, it means that is is positive as well. When you want to test if the food has proteins, you have to test it with Biurets. Observe if the color change when you put some Biurets solution to the food sample. It is positive if the food turns light purple. Test if the food is positive with starches through the use of iodine. Food having iodine drops should turn purple instead of staying a yellow color.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

b. Capillaries; veins; arteries

Explanation:

Capillaries are the blood vessels with very thin walls. They serve as a site for an exchange of substances such as respiratory gases, nutrients, and toxins between the blood and the cells of the tissues. Veins are the blood vessels that mostly pick the deoxygenated blood from the body cells and deliver it to the heart for oxygenation. On the other hand, arteries are the blood vessels that mostly carry the oxygen-rich blood. They pick the oxygenated blood from the heart and deliver it to body cells. Therefore, veins carry blood towards the heart while arteries carry it away from the heart.

Answer and explanation

1. Cloning differs from budding as it generates a genetically identical COPY of a cell or organism while budding produces a genetically identical offspring.
2. Firstly it can take place quickly, allowing the pioneer species to establish themselves in their new habitat, out competing slowly -reproducing species.
Secondly since all the offspring are genetically alike, it ensures that if the parents are successful in their habitat, the offspring will also be successful, provided environmental conditions do not change .
3. Plant cloning uses one of the plant organs can be roots , stem and etc ..while animal cloning only uses a single cell

Both the mitochondria and chloroplast convert energy, have its own DNA, and are enclosed by two membranes.

Answer:

The correct answer is - B. Lichens.

Explanation:

Lichens are one of the pioneer species that can grow on bare rock such as moraine and help make soil for further ecological succession and making ground for other species.

Breaking the bare rocks to convert into the soil is part of the primary succession. Lichens are colonized over these rocks and they contain acid which leads to the breakdown of the moraine and other rocks.
