Why does potato extract turn brown when catechol oxidase is added?
It is because the enzyme facilitates a reaction between catechol and oxidase. In the presence of oxygen, the compound catechol is oxidized by the removal of two hydrogen atoms. Catechol is thus converted to benzoquinone, and oxygen is reduced by the addition of two hydrogen atoms to form water. Benzoquinone molecules then link together to form long, branched chains. These chains are the structural backbones fo the read and brown melanoid pigments that cause the darkening. The intensity of the colour depends on the amount of the coloured product formed.

it tasts funny =)
When a peeled potato is placed in distilled water it will .......as a result of osmosis. if some salt is added to the potato will?
When a peeled potato is placed in distilled water, it will swell as a result of osmosis, as water moves into the potato cells where the solute concentration is higher. If some salt is added to the potato, it will cause the potato to lose water, leading to shrinkage, as the salt creates a higher solute concentration outside the potato cells, drawing water out.
What happens when crushed potato was added to hydrogen peroxide?
When crushed potato is added to hydrogen peroxide, the enzyme catalase in the potato catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas. This reaction produces bubbling or foaming as the oxygen gas is released.
What colour does potato change to when Benedict solution is added?
Potato turns blue or purple when Benedict's solution is added, indicating the presence of reducing sugars such as glucose. This color change occurs due to the chemical reaction between the reducing sugars in the potato and the copper ions in the Benedict's solution.

What happen when you added ethanol to a strawberry extract?
When ethanol is added to a strawberry extract, it can precipitate certain compounds, such as proteins and polyphenols, leading to the formation of a solid phase or sediment. This occurs because ethanol reduces the solubility of these compounds in the aqueous extract. Additionally, ethanol may help in the extraction of flavor compounds and antioxidants from the strawberries, enhancing the overall flavor profile of the extract.

What happens when iodine is added to peeled potato?
When iodine is added to peeled potato, it reacts with the starch present in the potato tissue, resulting in a color change. The iodine turns blue-black due to the formation of a complex between the iodine and the starch molecules. This reaction is commonly used as a test for the presence of starch in various substances. If the potato contains starch, the blue-black coloration will be evident.
