4 End of Chapter Questions

This document contains questions about carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, enzymes, and DNA. It asks the student to identify examples as monosaccharides, disaccharides, or polysaccharides; found in plants/animals; and provide one function. It also asks the student to name key elements, molecules, reagents, and terms related to biochemical testing and metabolism. Further questions involve designing a experiment to compare reducing sugar concentration between solutions and completing a table with biochemical examples. The final questions ask the student to make inferences about DNA base percentages and how DNA sequence affects organism appearance.

3. Imagine that you have been given two colourless solutions.


Describe how you could find out which of them contains the greater concentration of reducing
sugar. You will need to think carefully about all the different variables that you would need to
keep constant.
