It can be observed that when testing for starch their must be a olour change of blue black after iodine solution was added.Before the colour change was green that changed to blue black of the whole procedure is been carried out.
it becomes blue black showing that starch is present.
in a variegated leaf only the green areas of the leaf turns blue black in colour when tested for starch what is the best way to explan that
The leaf turns brittle during the testing the leaf for starch because the ethanol extracts the all water content from the leaf.
By blue color I assume you mean an added dye that shows how some parts of the leaf can photosynthesize and others not. The easiest of these experiments is to place the leaf in boiling ethanol (alcohol) and when drained of colour spread out on a flat surface. Soak the leaf in iodine and the green parts will turn blue/black and the non green parts will stay the yellowish brown colour of iodine. The green parts contain starch (a more compact form of glucose) which makes iodine turn blue/black. The blue/black is what will show starch is present.
the color of the leaf become brown-black after the iodine solution was added.

If you add iodine to a leaf, a black color will show that starch is present
because of the presence of starch
because photosynthesis has occured in the leaf. starch is produced and turns iodine blue-black indicating the presence of starch.
The starch in a variegated Coleus leaf is stored in the pigmented parts of the leaf. Coleus is a flowering plant is usually considered an ornamental plant because of its color.
Leaf bigs change their color so that they can conceal themselves from predatory animals
When conducting a starch test green and non-green leaves will react differently. Non-green leaves will not change color, remaining the same. However, green leaves will darken to black or nearly black color.
it becomes blue black showing that starch is present.
because the leaves have photosynthesized- glucose is produced. therefore, the excess glucose is converted to starch. The starch is then stored in the leaf-starch is what causes the "green" leaf to turn blue black, as iodine turns blue-black when it reacts with starch.:P
When the plant is kept in sunlight the starch is formed in leaf.
It is a chemical change, a degradation of the compounds from the leaf.
