  1. You are provided with liquid X and substance Q. 
    1. Place three drops of liquid X onto a white tile. Add two drops of iodine solution. ...
      1. Record your observation (1 mk)
      2. Suggest the identity of liquid X(1 mk)

      Record your observation (1 mk)
    3. Label three test-tubes as set-ups A, B, and C. Place 3ml of liquid X into each of the setups.Divide substance Q into three equal portions.
      • To set-up A, add one portion of substance and shake.
      • Place the second portion of substance Q into a boiling tube. Add 2ml of water to it and boil for four minutes. Add it to set-up B and shake.
      • To set-up C, add the third portion of substance Q. Add 8 drops of 2M hydrochloric acid and shake.
        Place the three set-ups in a warm water bath maintained at 37°C for 40 minutes.
        Cool the set-ups by dipping the test-tubes in cold water in a small beaker.
        Place 2ml of the contents of each set-up into three separate test tubes.
        Add equal amount of Benedict's solution to each of the three test-tubes and boil.

      2. Starch solution;
    2. Blue colour persists/no colour change
    3. Set up-A; colour changes from blue to green to yellow to orange;
      Set up B; Blue colour persists/no colour change
      Set up C; Blue colour persists/no colour change
    4. Set up-A; Enzyme amylase present in Q; breaks down / digests / hydrolyses/converts starch; into reducing sugar / maltose V; hence colour changes to orange
      Set up B; Boiling denatured enzyme Amylase present in Q; hence Blue colour persists; starch not converted into reducing sugars Set up C; Acidic medium/HCL denatured enzyme/ Amylase present in Q; V hence Blue colour persists; starch not converted into reducing sugars
    5. To provide an optimum temperature for enzyme activity
