estion 2 1 points Benedict s reagent is a chemical that is used as a test for the presence of a free aldehyde functional group on glucose The aldehyde is used when glucose and fructose bind together to form sucros and the Benedict s test is negative Starch contains a great deal of glucose but gives a negative Benedict s test because O starch is not soluble in water and cannot react with Benedict s reagent all of the aldehyde groups on the starch are oxidized and cannot react with the Benedict s reagent only the glucose at the end of a chain of starch will have an exposed aldehyde functional group to react with Benedict s reagent Save
