1. How do the results of the Benedict's test indicate that hydrolysis of sucrose and starch occurred? Benedict's solution contains copper, which can accept electrons from reducing sugar and consequently change color, and positive Benedict's sugar test will produce an orange to brick-red color. Reducing sugar have either a free aldehyde functional group or a free ketone functional group as part of their molecule structures. Starches and other polysaccharides lack these functional groups. If Benedict's test change color (positive reaction polysaccharides must be hydrolyzed). 2. How do the results of the Iodine test indicate that hydrolysis of starch occurred? Starch is a polysaccharide which is stored as a reservoir for energy. It provides energy like of other polysaccharides. The presence of starch or polysaccharides is tested with the help of Iodine's test. Starch tums the solution into blue-black when aqueous solutions of triiodine is added to it. This happens because of the intermolecular charge transfer complex. The cu^2+ changes to Cu^+.

Starch is a polysaccharide which is stored as a reservoir for energy. It provides energy like of other polysaccharides. The presence of starch or polysaccharides is tested with the help of Iodine's test. Starch turns the solution into blue-black when aqueous solutions of triiodine is added to it. This happens because of the intermolecular charge transfer complex. The cu^2+ changes to Cu^+.
