Xylem will give negative in both iodine and benedict !! But i guess phloem will give negative in iodine but benedicts would be positive because phloem has sugars !! ?
doesnt it carry sucrose? :s

Yes and sucrose is a reducing sugar giving +ve result wid benedict ! ?
its a disaccharide :s here. this is from wikipedia
Sucrose is thus a non-reducing sugar which does not react with Benedict's reagent. Sucrose indirectly produces a positive result with Benedict's reagent if heated with dilute hydrochloric acid prior to the test, although after this treatment it is no longer sucrose.

so why is this all -ve option not here? its winter 2011, paper12 View attachment 8879
The answer here is D because they are asking u about the phloem !! Reduscind sugar is present as the cell sap that is translocated by the sive tubes contains sugars so option will be D !! They are not asking directly from roots so in translocation sugarsare also present !!

The answer here is D because Xylem neither carries starch nor iodine but phloem carries the reducing sugars but NOT starch that is why iodine test produces negative result in both tissues.
then where is that option in here? w08 =xuntitled2.JPG

In this the answer is also D since Phloem contains sucrose the non-reducing sugar
Just keep in mind that the phloem contains sucrose but if hydrolysed and then neutralised it may contain reducing sugar (this will not be specified in paper 1 obviously either one of the two options will be given and both are correct-other options are completely illogical)

after reading your both the posts i was like o_O (whats going on with examiner) but you should look the options under X ( xyelm) which is supposed to be giving -ve in both....so there is no other possibility but D if you look at the options under Xylem...:)

The table gives data about four substances.
Which substance has particles in a disorderly arrangement at room temperature?

melting point/ oC l boiling point/oC
A –114.................. l ... –80
B 120 ....................l .....445
C 750 ....................l..... 1407
D 1610.................. l..... 2230

cant understand the query:(

Which gas has the slowest rate of diffusion?
A ammonia, NH3
B methane, CH4
C oxygen, O2
D nitrogen, N2

this one too :(

option A cuz gases have melting and boiling point below room temperature

A ammonia, NH3
B methane, CH4
C oxygen, O2
D nitrogen, N2

calculate their molecular mass. the heaviest will have lowest rate of diffusion.
