Q6. (10 pts) Benedict's solution is an alkaline copper sulfate solution which is used to detect the presence of aldehyde groups. In the presence of Benedict's solution, the aldehyde group is oxidized and the aqueous blue Cu²+ ion is reduced to a red Cu₂0 precipitate. (a) Can we use Benedict's solution to distinguish glucose and fructose? Why? (b) Cellobiose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose linked by a ß(14) glycosidic bond. Draw the structure of cellobiose. Can cellobiose be detected by Benedict's solution?
