After the reaction is complete, a sample of the reaction solution can be placed on a thin layer chromatography plate, and the solvent allowed to move up the plate. Then, the plate can be sprayed with a suitable chemical for detection, and only one spot should be observed if, in fact, only 1 sugar is present.

How can chromatography be used to show that the hydrolysis of starch produces only one sugar glucose?
use starch in the datum line and after a while, check if there is only one substance in the paper during the whole process. check if it is glucose.
The complete hydrolysis of starch yields what simple sugar?
As you hydrolyze starch, you make glucose molecules.
What kind of reaction is starch being broken into sugar in the body?
the process is called HYDROLYSIS.
Is starch a sugar?
No, starch is not sugar. But, both are carbohydrates.
Does starch gives positive result for Benedict test?
Starch is made up of repeating glucose units. Though it is a non reducing sugar, its hydrolysis gives out pure glucose, which is known as dextrose. And glucose, as we know, is a reducing sugar and hence would give a positive result in Benedict's test.

Is starch is present in sugarcane?
is starch present in sugarcane
How do polysaccharides like starch and glycogen separate into smaller sugar molecules?
They break down in a process called hydrolysis, in which the molecules separate into smaller sugar molecules by the addition of water.
Does starch have sugar?
no, starch is sugar fool
Why doesn't a plant produce as much starch in the absence of water as it does in the presence of water?
In order to produce starch, a plant has to combine water and the sugar it produces. Without water, a plant cannot produce starch.
What is glucose (sugar) used for by a plant?
A monosaccharide sugar originating in plants and used in animals to carry energy throughout the body, just as sucrose is the main carrier of energy throughout the plant. It is prepared industrially by the hydrolysis of starch.

Is starch a sugar?
No, starch is not sugar. But, both are carbohydrates.
This developing plant uses starch stored in the seed as a source of energy during germination This stored starch is a by-product of?
The stored starch is a by-product of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis produces glucose; plants can convert and store excess glucose as starch. Both sugar and starch are types of carbohydrates.
What is added to sugar in hydrolysis?
water
