Answer:

This is because of the presence of a lot of sugar in the diabetic patient's blood stream.

Explanation:

As a test for the presence of simple sugars, Benedict's solution is usually added to the test sample and then heated.

A diabetic patient's body system has a lot of sugar flowing around in the blood stream. His body is unable to get this sugar into the cells for use, because the insulin produced by his pancreas is not enough. As a result his body system has a lot of sugar.

Consequently, whenever the patient urinates, the urine has a high sugar content as opposed to a normal person, whose urine has a low sugar content because of a normal functioning body system.

The high sugar content of the diabetic patient's urine is what  gives an intense brick red precipitation with Benedict's reagent.

How does the energy from the sun cause evaporation
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

In the water cycle, evaporation occurs when sunlight warms the surface of the water. The heat from the sun makes the water molecules move faster and faster, until they move so fast they escape as a gas. ... When it is cool enough, the water vapor condenses and returns to liquid water.

In describing the timing of Drosophila development, researchers use AEL to mean "After egg laying", for example, 40 h AEL means
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

A fruit fly of 75h AEL is at larval stage.

Explanation:

The development of a Drosophilia starts from egg to larva to pupa then to adult. The full development at 25 degrees Celsius takes between 8.5 to 10 days. The higher the temperature, the faster the development of the Drosophilia.

The eggs hatch after 12-15 hours into larval stage which then lasts for 3-4 days(72-96 hours) then the pupal stage which also lasts for 3-4 days before it becomes a full adult.

Thus, 72 hours after egg laying would still be in larval stage. The larval stage ends after at leas 90 hours after egg laying.
