What is the non-reducing and reducing end of a sugar? How is a reducing sugar determined?

Vanyuwa [196]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A sugar is categorized into two types, that is, non-reducing sugar and reducing sugar. A sugar, which exhibits a free ketone or aldehyde and can function as a reducing agent is known as reducing sugar. On the other hand, a non-reducing sugar does not comprise a free ketone or aldehyde group, and it cannot function as a reducing agent. With the help of Fehling's test one can determine the amount of reducing sugars present in a solution.

In environments that lack oxygen, some organisms have developed a way to break down intorganic molecules in order to produce ene
Ierofanga [76]

The above mentioned process is called as <u>Anaerobic respiration </u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

All organisms need oxygen to produce energy but in some prokaryotes and eukaryotes they lack the presence of oxygen in their environment. Hence they have adapted a strategy called anaerobic respiration to break down the inorganic molecules to produce energy.

They use carbon dioxide and release methane as the by product. The process of glycolosis helps.  All types of fermentation happens anaerobically here. It helps down to break down the fuels and produce energy. This energy is utilized for their life function.
