Does banana contain fat and starch?
Bananas are a good source of dietary starch. Different types of bananas have different percentages of starch content. As bananas ripen the starch changes to dextrin and glucose. Cooking bananas (plantains) are about 25% starch, which is much more starch that 'eating' bananas have, which can be in the range of 5% to 6% of the edible part of the fruit.

Does potato contains starch and proteins?
Yes. 100 grams of potato will contain about 15.44 grams of starch and 2 grams of protein. (Please see the link.)
What did you see on the leaf in the test tube when testing for starch?
Use iodine to test a leaf for starch | Plant Physiology | Biology
How would you test afood sample to see if it contained starch & fat?
Eat it then see if it gave me reflux, if it did then gaviscon is the only option
Is glucose stored as starch in potatoes?
Yes, glucose is stored in potatoes in the form of starch. Starch is a polysaccharide composed of long chains of glucose molecules and serves as the primary storage form of energy in potatoes and other plants.
How do you test how strong toilet paper is?
test to see how much water it can contain without dripping
What is the importance of iodine test in enzymes?
The iodine test is used to detect starch (proteins) and enzymes are made up of proteins The Iodine test can be used to see if any of the enzymes are in the product you get after an experiment breaking down a substance with the required enzyme. The iodine will turn black/ blue if starch is present.
What is the purpose of covering the leaf with iodine?
Covering a leaf with iodine helps to test for the presence of starch. Iodine reacts with starch to produce a blue-black color, indicating the presence of this carbohydrate in the leaf. This test is commonly used in biology experiments to detect the storage of starch in plant leaves.
Can saliva dissolve sugar?
No, saliva doesn't contain reducing sugars, but it does contain enzymes that break down starch. Even so, starch is not a reducing sugar either - it is a polysaccharide.
What color would you see if iodine solution is added to starch?
The color change that occurs when iodine solution is added to starch is a dark blue or purple color. This reaction is commonly used to test for the presence of starch in a solution.
How would you test to see if catalase could catalyze starch?
To test if catalase can catalyze starch, you would mix catalase with starch and observe if there is any breakdown of starch into simpler products like glucose. You can also use a test reagent like Lugol's iodine to detect the presence of starch before and after the catalase reaction as a qualitative test. Finally, you can measure the amount of glucose produced using a glucose detection assay as a quantitative test for catalase activity on starch.
Why do you need to remove chlorophyll from a leaf when testing for starch?
Chlorophyll has a function of converting starch into glucose and other simpler plant products.Thats why we have to remove cholorphyll before starting a test for starch.
