Make certain each sentence is complete before submitting your answer. amino acids In photosynthesis, plants use the energy to synthesize from oxidized Reset Help reduced In respiration, are to form and provide energy to do work from sunlight in the cells of our body. air carbohydrogens proteins carbon dioxide and water from inner sources carbohydratesarrow_forwardWhat is the principle employed in the test for glucose? A. Reduction of glucose oxidizes another metabolite that gives the color reaction. B. Oxidation of hydroxyl groups to aldehyde changes its property resulting in the absorption of light in the visible range of wavelengths. C. Oxidation of carbonyl carbons causes it to change the wavelength at which the carbonyl compound absorbs maximally. D. Oxidation of glucose reduces the electron receiver converting it to another compound responsible for the color reaction. E. Glucose has carbonyl carbons and hydroxyl groups that react with specific reagents to give a colored product.arrow_forward
