large molecules often contain carbon. why? - they can readily form bonds with other carbon atoms. this forms a 'backbone'. other atoms can then attach. describe benedicts test for reducing sugars - add equal volumes of the sugar sample and benedicts reagent. heat the mixture in a water bath for 5 minutes. brick red precipitate will form. what is a reducing sugar? - a sugar that can reduce (give electrons to) another chemical. describe the benedicts test for non reducing sugars - with fo...

describe and explain the steps in the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis - 1. photoionisation: light reaches chlorophyll in PSII, which is absorbed by an electron, which becomes excited and moves to a higher energy level. 2. the electron passes to a carrier protein in the thylakoid membrane, and is passed down a series of carrier molecules called an electron transfer chain. 3. as the electron moves down, energy is lost from the electron and is released as ATP. 4. the loss of electr...
