Essential Chemistry for IGCSE - Biological Molecules (Section 2 - No. 6)
Which of the following statements best describes the process of paper chromatography for identifying sugars?
It separates sugars based on their size, with the smaller sugars traveling further.
It identifies sugars by reacting them with a locating agent to develop a color.
It is a two-dimensional process.
All of the above.
Explanation
Paper chromatography separates sugars based on their solubility and polarity. The sugars react with the locating agent to develop a color and the method involves two dimensions.
