I have a few questions
First of all if you have the Federal Biology book
Please go to Chapter 5 Nutrition Pg. 67
Test Yourself 5.2 and 5.3
From 5.2 I odnt understand 1C and fromm 4.3 I dont understand a-g ( dont need to sketch the graph)

Next from chapter 9 Digestion
Pg. 93
Investigation 6.3
I dont understand 1b, 3, 4, 5a-c

I would appreciate it if someone could help

Next there is a MCQ from the past papers that i dont understand
it is as follows :

Q. 10 cm^3 of 1% starch suspension was incubated with 10 cm^3 of a 10% amylase solution for five minutst at 37 celcius. Samples were then tested with iodine solution and with benedict's solution, What are the expected results for each?

Color with Iodline Solution: Black or Brown
Color with Bendicts slution- blue or brick-red?

Please explain with the answer

Thanks

For 5.2 c, itx easy! The tube initially contains 10% glucose solution with water outside! Replacing water with 25% glucose would mean that water would leave the visking tube by the process of osmosis and the tube would shrink! The level of solution in beaker would rise too! :)

Now look,

but the answer blamk is being followed by a "cm^3" unit

there were i think two mistakes....... at another place they had required volume and given mass units i think..... i.e. opposite units
