The sugar could be glucose (a monosaccharide found in all cells), maltose (a disaccharide extracted from seeds), sucrose (disaccharide, the sugar found in plant stems and cane sugar) or starch (a polysaccharide found in plants). A couple of food examinations will be used. Benedict’s reagent to test for glucose (reducing sugars) and Iodine to test for starch.
