Easy to remember...right? Yeahs.
So anyways, there are 3 types of nutrients in total - carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
It provides energy for the body cells.
There are 3 types of carbohydrates, mainly the diasaccharides, monosaccharides, and the polysaccharides. I would not go into detail for that as you people have to study!!!
So anyways, there are 2 type of tests for carbohydrates, the Benedicts Test and the Iodine Test.
It is made up of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen (CHO)
Benedicts Test:
It tests for reducing sugar, and if reducing sugar is present, the solution would become reddish (is there even such a word?) -orange precipitate. If not, it would just remain as blue.
It tests for, as you all should know, for starch. So, if starch is present, the solution would turn blue-black, or if starch is not present, then the solution would remain brown/yellow, depending on the colour of the iodine at first. But I guess it would be better if you choose brown instead, to you know, just to play safe XD
It is the main substance used for the growth of new cells, and the repair of damaged cells. It also provides energy when the body lacks fats, or carbohydrates.
It is made up of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen.
Protein can never never be stored as it is TOXIC!!!! Thus, it is removed by the body via egestion, as urea in urine.
The biuret test is used to test for the presence of protein. If protein is present, the solution would change to violet (yeah!!! 0_0). If not, it wouls remain as blue.
