Answer AND Explanation:

Benedict’s Reagent Data

Sample:  Initial Color:    Final Color:      Reducing Sugar Present in Sample? dH2O        Clear               Blue                    no  

Albumin  clear                 Blue                      no

Milk          white          Orange-ish brown     yes

Glucose  clear              red                          yes

Lugol’s Iodine Data

Sample:     Initial Color:       Final Color:        Starch Present in Sample

dH2O            clear                 orange                 No

Albumin          Clear              orange                  No

Milk               White               Yellow-ish             No

Starch          Foggy                Black                     Yes

Raw Potato    Yellow             Black                     yes

In each of the two tests (starch and sugar) a positive and negative control was used.Test one positive control was milk and glucose and the negative control was the albumin and dh2o1. Milk and glucose have high levels of sugar present while the others don't.The test two results were positive for potato and starch while the dh20, milk, albumin were negative

In the test for reducing sugars using Benedict's solution, milk and glucose serves as positive controls while distilled water and albumin serves as negative controls.

What is the Benedict's test?

Benedict's test is a test used to test for the presence of reducing sugars.

A brick-red precipitate using Benedict's test indicates the presence of reducing sugars.

Milk and glucose serves as positive controls for the test because the both contain reducing sugars.

A negative control in Benedict's test will be distilled water and albumin.

This is because neither distilled water nor albumin contains no reducing sugars.

Therefore, milk and glucose serves as positive controls while distilled water and albumin serves as negative controls.
