G marks) (2) Name two digestive juices from the human body that may produce the same result as digestive juice X. (@ marks) (iii) Suggest three important precautions to reduce experimental errors when setting up this experiment, G marks) 44cm’ each of starch solution, glucose solution and digestive juice X 4 cm? each of starch solution, ‘lucose solution and distilled water After 30 minutes, 2 cm? of the water outside the dialysis tubing in set-up A ‘was transferred into a separate test tube and Benedict's test was performed. ‘The same procedure was repeated with set-up B. The results are recorded in the following table : Set-up A | Setup B Results of Benedict's test + +++ Key: ‘+ represents a small amount of red precipitate ‘+44? represents a large amount of red precipitate - s4-ce-810 1-3 -2- > 94.cE-810 1-21.(b) Two flasks contained yeast cells growing in equal volumes of a sugar solution. 1) © Flask A received a constant air supply whereas flask B did not have any air supply at all.
