Concept introduction: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is the species that are formed from the
ROS are important for the body but they have to be eliminated when they are not required as they are harmful when not needed.
(b)
Interpretation: To determine the chemical reaction for the conversion of hydrogen peroxide into undesirable products within cells.
Concept introduction: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is the species that are formed from the
ROS are important for the body but they have to be eliminated when they are not required. They are harmful to the human body so they are eliminated when they are not needed.

- lodine solution is reddish-orange. When a dilute solution is placed on a slice of bread, it turns dark blue. This is because the bread contains A. glucose B. Sucrose C. protein D. starch E. cellulosearrow_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_forwardwhat type of compound is formed in the reaction?arrow_forward
