Explanation:
12.In lab, we used Benedict's reagent to test for one particular reducing sugar: glucose. Benedict's reagent starts out aqua-blue. As it is heated in the presence of reducing sugars, it turns yellow to orange.
13.Monosaccharides: The Sweet Ones
Monosaccharides: The Sweet OnesThey are the building blocks (monomers) for the synthesis of polymers or complex carbohydrates, as will be discussed further in this section. Monosaccharides are classified based on the number of carbons in the molecule.
14.The most common carbohydrate polymers that are found in nature are cellulose, starch, dextrins and cyclodextrins, chitin and chitosan, hyaluronic acid, and various gums (carrageenan, xanthan,

Key TakeawaysStarch is a storage form of energy in plants. It contains two polymers composed of glucose units: amylose (linear) and amylopectin (branched).

17.Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in humans and other vertebrates. Like starch, glycogen is a polymer of glucose monomers, and it is even more highly branched than amylopectin. Glycogen is usually stored in liver and muscle cells.

19.iodine solution
iodine solutionA chemical test for starch is to add iodine solution (yellow/brown) and look for a colour change. In the presence of starch, iodine turns a blue/black colour. It is possible to distinguish starch from glucose (and other carbohydrates) using this iodine solution test.
