What else can I help you with?
What kind of sugar is used by organisms?
Organisms use all types of sugars, ex. we eat lactose (milk) fructose (fruit) and sucrose (white sugar used in cooking) . Organisms break the sugars down into their parts, ex lactose= galactose+glucose
What does a plant makes as food?
Carbohydrates such as starches and sugars like glucose and fructose, for example.
What is a glucose blood test for?
To test for the amount of sugars (glucose) in the blood.
Can saliva dissolve sugar?
No, saliva doesn't contain reducing sugars, but it does contain enzymes that break down starch. Even so, starch is not a reducing sugar either - it is a polysaccharide.
What is one of two monosaccharides made by plants?
Plants make different sugars including sucrose, dextrose and fructose.
Are glucose and fructose reduced sugars?
Glucose and fructose are reducing sugars.
Is glucose and fructose reducing sugars?
yes, both glucose and fructose are reducing sugars. but the sucrose is non-reducing sugar although it is formed from two reducing sugars.
Does cucumber contain reducing sugar?
Yes, cucumbers contain small amounts of reducing sugars, such as glucose and fructose. These sugars are responsible for the slightly sweet taste of cucumbers.
Why is the Benedict test not exclusive to glucose?
The Benedict test will return a positive value for any reducing sugar. It will work with fructose, for example. Benedict solution oxidizes all the reducing sugars such as glucose, galactose and fructose. This implies that a positive result of Benedict's test can be any of the reducing sugars, not necessarily glucose. It will oxidize the carbonyl (which present in all type of sugar classes). So if we get a positive result in the Benedict test, it is not necessarily glucose; it could be galactose or fructose that also a reducing sugar. So Benedict test can't be used to assure glucose.
Do bananas contain 3 natural sugars?
Bananas contain 3 naturalsugars (sucrose, fructose and glucose).
Are the products of sucrose hydrolysis reducing sugars?
No, sucrose is not a reducing agent. The disaccharide sucrose can be 'inverted' breaking the molecule into the monosaccharides glucose and fructose, both of which are reducing sugars. This is commonly done by enzymatic action.
Does maple sirup contain fructose and glucose?
NO - It consists primarily of sucroseand water, with small amounts of other sugars. The imitationproducts are those that contain fructose.
When you add Fructose and fructose does it gives you glucose?
No. Fructose and glucose are two different, simple sugars or monosaccharides. Fructose is a ketohexose. Glucose is an aldohexose.
Is xylose a reducing sugar?
Ribose: Ribose is an Aldopentose sugar, and all aldose sugars are reducing sugars. The non-reducing sugars are ketose sugars which contain a ketone functional group. For ex: Ketose = Sucrose. For ex: Aldose = Glucose, Fructose, Lactose
What sugars are in bananas?
sucrose, fructose and glucose.
If benedicts reagent turns red what substance is present?
If Benedict's reagent turns red after adding it to a solution, it indicates the presence of reducing sugars such as glucose or fructose. The red color is a result of the reduction of copper (II) ions in the reagent to copper (I) oxide by the reducing sugars.
Which carbohydrates give a positive reaction with benedicts reagent?
Reducing sugars, such as glucose and fructose, give a positive reaction with Benedict's reagent. When heated, these sugars reduce the copper (II) ions in the reagent to form a colored precipitate, indicating the presence of reducing sugars. Non-reducing sugars, like sucrose, will not give a positive reaction with Benedict's reagent.
