Fehling's solution can detect

Options

  1. ASucrose
  2. BGlucose
  3. CAmino acids
  4. DLipids

Correct answer

B. Glucose

Step-by-step solution

Fehling's solution is a chemical test used to differentiate between water-soluble carbohydrate and ketone functional groups, and as a test for monosaccharides. Sugars having a free aldehyde or ketone group can reduce Cu 2+ to Cu + . These are called reducing sugars. This property is the basis for Fehling's test to detect the presence of glucose in urine.
