Do you add iodide when testing for starch?
yes amylose yields a blue color and amylopectin yields a purple color
Does iodine color rocks a red color?
No, iodine does not colour rocks red. However, a presence of chromium in rocks emits a red colour when exposed to yellow/green light.
Does glycogen and amylopectin have a helical structure like amylose and if yes why is it that glycogen and amylopectin form red-violet colouration with potassium iodide?
Yes, they are helical. The change in colouration is due to iodine being trapped in the helix. Difference in colour is due to the different wavelength of light being absorbed when iodine form bonds with the glucose molecules in the helix.
What color is citric acid in iodine?
It is a pinkish, red colour.
Why does starch change color in iodine?
Red/White/Blue
Color given by amylopectin on reaction with iodine?
less intensively purple to red
Predict the color of amylopectin in iodine solution and explain why they give each complex?
red in color
Why glycogen gives red colour with iodine?
When Iodine is added to amylose, the helical shape of the unbranched polysaccharide traps Iodine molecules, producing a deep blue-black complex. Amylopectin, cellulose, and Glycogen react with iodine to give red to brown colors. Glycogen produces a reddish-purple color.

What is the result of lugol's test in glycogen?
it should give dark brown color with high concentration of glyogen

What color is iodine on litmus paper?
The water solution of iodine turn blue litmus paper to red.
