You are provided with liquid X and substance Q
1. Place three drops of liquid X onto a white tile. Add four drops of iodine solution and record your observation. (lmk)
2. Pour 2ml of liquid X into a test-tube. Add equal amounts of Benedict’s solution boil the mixture. Record your observation (lmk)
3. Label three boiling tubes as set-ups A, B, and C. Place 3m1of liquid X into each of the set-ups. Divide substance Q into three equal portions.
  To set-up A, add one portion of substance Q and shake.
  1. Place the second portion of substance Q into a test tube. Add 1ml of water to it and boil for four minutes. Add it to set-up B and shake.
  2. To set —up C, add the third portion of substance Q. Add 8 drops of 2M hydrochloric acid and shake.
  3. Place the three set-ups in a warm water bath maintained at 37°C for 30minutes.
  4. Cool the set-ups by dipping the boiling tubes in cold water
  5. Place 2ml of the contents of each set-up into three separate test tubes. Add equal amount of Benedict’s solution to each of the three test-tubes and boil.
4. Record your observations (3mks)
  Set-up A
  Set-up B
  Set-up C
5. Account for your observations in the set-up (3mks)
  Set-up A
  Set-up B
  Set-up C
6. Give the most likely identity of substance Q (1mk)
7. Why was the water bath maintained at 37°C (lmk)
8. What is the fate of the product of set up A in an organism? (2mks)

MARKING SCHEME

1. Blue black/black dark blue colour is formed
2. No colour change/colour of Benedict’s solution remains;
  Rej: No change /no reaction/ no observation /nothing happens
3. Set-up A- colour changes from blue to green to yellow to orange/brown;
  Set-up B: No colour change/ colour of Benedicts’ solution remains;
  Rej- No change/no reaction/no observation/nothing happens
  Set-up C- No colour change/colour of Benedict’s solution remains;
  Rej- No change no reaction/ no observation/ nothing happens
4. Set-up A — Enzyme amylase/diastase/invertase (in Q); digests /hydrolysis/breaks down/converts starch (in liquid X); to reducing sugar/maltose;
  Set-up B: boiling denatures/destroys enzymes amylase/diastase/invertase; hence starch is not converted to reducing sugar/maltose;
  Set up C:- Hydrochloric acid provides unfavorable pH for enzyme amylase diastase/invertase; hence starch is not converted to reducing sugar/maltose;
5. Enzyme amylase/diastase/invertase;
6. To provide optimum temperature for enzymatic reaction
7. Broken down to glucose. Glucose is oxidesed to provide energy during cellular respiration In excess it is converted to glycogen in animals or starch for storage in plants.

Animal with more than three pairs of legs ……….....................................................go to 5
