Very probable iodine ions remain blocked in amylose (a component of starch).
The chemical used to test for the presence of starch is iodine.
When iodine is added to starch it turns a blackish color due to a chemical reaction.
The color become intense blue.
The color become intense blue.
Iodine stains starch blue. You will be able to see the plastids where the starch is stored in the cytoplasm.
Yes it does turn blue in water, it dissolves blue.
The reagent that is used to test for starch is a mixture of iodine and potassium iodide in water, or an Iodine - KI reagent. If the reagent turns blue-black in color, then starch is present.
starch
there will be a change of color in to blue- black complex
place starch solution inside the partially permeable membrane and than partially submerge it a beaker filled with distilled water. after some time, take the tubing out and test the water inside the beaker for starch by adding iodine solution. if the tubing is permeable to starch, the starch would have diffused into the water in the beaker and test positive for starch and turn dark blue. if not, then the water in the beaker would test negative for starch and remain a yellowish brown solution.
Iodine turns blue in the presence of starch.
it will turn the starch into blue black colour
