Why is Benedict's test unreliable?

Benedict's test is considered unreliable because it can give false positive or false negative results. It may not accurately differentiate between reducing sugars and other substances that can also react with the Benedict's reagent, leading to inaccurate conclusions about the presence of sugars in a sample. Additionally, the test may not detect certain types of sugars or may give inconsistent results depending on factors such as temperature and pH.

Why are xanthoproteic and millon-nasse test unsatisfactory for the use in examination for proteins?

The xanthoproteic test involves nitration of aromatic amino acids in proteins, which may not always be specific for proteins as other compounds containing these amino acids can give false positive results. The Millon-Nasse test is based on the reaction of phenol groups in proteins, which can also react with other substances containing phenol groups, leading to false positive results. Overall, these tests lack specificity and can give inaccurate results when used to examine proteins.

Can chewing gum while taking a test effect your performance?

It has been said that if you chew gum during a test it helps you focus more. However, to some, chewing gum distracts them because they are blowing bubbles or focusing on the taste of the gum rather than the test. Also, if you are taking a test with other people who are also chewing gum, you are likely to get distracted by the sound of a person chewing gum.

Does dip show up in blood test?

Chewing tobacco will show up in a blood test. Despite the name, it is not chewed; 'dip' is held between the teeth and the inner lip. It abrades (makes tiny cuts) in your skin and nicotine is absorbed into the blood stream. Oral cancers are prevalent among users of chewing tobacco. Some consider it worse than smoking.
