, 1.4 Carbohydrates
1.4.1 define carbohydrates;
1.4.2 classify carbohydrates as monosaccharides, disaccharides,
oligosaccharides and polysaccharides with examples;
Practical Objective 1: Perform Benedict’s test to confirm the presence of
reducing sugar.
Objective 2: Perform iodine test to confirm the presence of starch.
Apparatus/Slide/Material: Bunsen burner, test tubes, test tube stand, test tube
holder, droppers, tripod stand, wire gauze, graduated pipettes, beaker.
Chemicals: Solutions of glucose and starch, Benedict’s solution, iodine
solution.
1.4.3 compare the properties and roles of monosaccharides with their formulae;
1.4.4 distinguish between D and L forms of glucose (stereoisomers) based on
the spatial arrangement of hydroxyl (-OH) groups around their chiral carbons;
