Solution

a] The presence of glucose in the urine sample is indicated by the color change to orange when mixed with Benedict's solution and heated.

b] The student can conclude that the person may have diabetes. This is because glucose is not normally found in urine. Its presence suggests that the person's body is not properly regulating blood sugar levels.

c] The organ that may not be functioning properly in this person is the pancreas. The pancreas produces insulin, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. If the pancreas is not functioning properly, it may not produce enough insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels and the presence of glucose in the urine.

Evie wanted to confirm whether a particular food substance contained sugar. There was no colour change when Benedict’s reagent was added. This was confirmed by multiple results of other students in Evie's class.However, the food packaging clearly stated that the substance had a high sugar content.Which one of the following best explains why there was a difference between the food test result and the food packaging?The test was only for non-reducing sugars, they need to test for the presence of the other types of sugars. This could explain why there was a difference between the food label and the food test results.The student did not add enough Benedict's reagent therefore a positive result might have been missed.The test was only for reducing sugars (e.g. glucose) and does not detect the presence other types of sugars, namely non-reducing sugars.
