The iodine solution will turn dark blue or black in the presence of starch in the potato slice. This is because iodine reacts with starch, forming a blue-black complex. It's a common test for the presence of starch in foods.

Would the iodine solution change colour when it is tested on a slice of bread?

No, iodine solution will not change color when tested on a slice of bread. Iodine solution reacts with starch, turning it blue-black. Bread does not contain starch in high enough amounts to produce a noticeable color change.


How do you test for starch in potato extract?

Use concentrated Iodine, If parts of the potato turn blue-black, there is starch present.=Be careful - iodine is an irritant.==OBVIOUSLY, Don't eat the potato afterwards!=

What happens to a potato slice in a solution of water that demonstrates osmosis?

the potato slice with decrease in mass, as the free water molecules during osmosis will leave the potato paasing through the semi permeable membrane. This happens because there is more free water molecules on the outsite of the potato, forcing more net movement towards the outside of the potato


What happens if a potato slice is placed in tap water?

If a potato slice is placed in tap water, the potato will absorb water through the process of osmosis. This causes the potato cells to swell and the slice to increase in size. The potato slice may also become softer due to the increased water content.

A potato slice when placed in water for several hours will become very stiff because?

the water absorbed by the potato slice through osmosis causes its cells to swell and become turgid, increasing the rigidity of the slice. This process, known as turgor pressure, gives plants and plant-based foods their structure when they absorb water.


How does the process of osmosis affect a potato slice that is saturated with water?

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. When a potato slice is saturated with water, it means that the cells in the potato have absorbed as much water as they can hold. In this state, osmosis will not have a significant effect on the potato slice because there is no concentration gradient for water to move across the membrane.
