MARKING SCHEME

  1.                      
    1.                                      
      1. Test Tube A

        • Oil is suspended / spread throughout the liquid / cloudy suspension;
          (Any 1, 1 mark)
          Test Tube B
        • Oil floats on water / no mixing / two separate layers / two immiscible layers;
      2. Emulsification;
      3. To increase surface area for enzyme / activity / of lipases;
      4. Bile;
      5. Duodenum;
        Nb: (v) is tied to (iv)
    2.                                
      1. Blue black color / colouration;
      2. Starch solution;
      3. C - Blue black colour disappears / fades / solution turns brown / yellow;
        D – Blue black colour remains;
      4. Enzyme amylase breaks down / hydroses / converts / digests starch into sugars reducing sugars / maltose; those do not give blue black colour with iodine;
    3. Procedure
      To a little of the paste in a test tube, add benedicts solution and heat;
