Ok so all I have found so far is In Benedict's solution Starch-no observable reaction and Starch Amylase-clear blue. In Iodine Starch- Blue Black Starch and Amylase-orange the web page I found this on how ever was very confusing so I'm not sure

If starch is present, the iodine solution will turn from yellowish-brom to blueish-black.

Which white powder turns blue-black in iodine solution?
starch
What color does sugar turn when you add iodine to it?
Iodine test is a procedure that tells whether a certain element or the such contains starch (or sugar) in it.In this test, we add iodine solution (with, possibly, KI reagent) to a material [in your case, sugar]. If starch ispresent, a blue-black, somehow purple, color will result, changing the initial color of iodine. If starch amylase (sugar) is NOT present, the color will remain orange/yellowish.
What does lugol's iodine?
it is iodine and potassium iodide solution It's a orange colored solution that consists of Iodine and Potassium Iodide and is used to test a substance for starch. If the color of the solution turns black when put on/in the substance, then the substance is positive for starch.
Why did each of the solutions turn iodine blueblack at the start of the experiments?
Iodine is famous for testing of the presence of starch. I would assume starch is present in the solution, therefore iodine would turn blue. Originally, the colour of iodine solution is brown.
Why do green leaves turn blue black when iodine is added?
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
What is the indicator for carbohydrates?
Simple(sugar): benedicts solution. Turns bright orange. Complex(starch): iodine turns dark purple/black
What tests are used to test for the presence of starch and glucose?
for the starch iodine test is performed in which the starch reacts with iodine to produce dark blue colour which confirms the presence of starch. for glucose benedict's and fehling's test is performed. benedict's test: 1 ml sample is mixed with 1 ml of benedicts solution and the heated upto boiling if the colur changes to brick red then it confirms the presence of glucose fehling's test: similarly 1 ml fehling's solution I & fehling's solution II each in taken together and to it 1 ml of the sample is takenon then heated uptill boiling. if the colour changes to brick red the it confirms the presence of glucose.
What do lugols iodine solution nd clinitest tape for?
Lugols: tests for starch Clinitest- Glucose
Which white powder turns orange in benedicts solution?
Starch solution.
Is there a method for detecting starch without using iodine?
if you put iodine in food and it contains starch it should change color.
Which indicator would you use to test starches?
weee
What indicator substance is used to test a leaf for starch?
Iodine Solution is used to determine whether starch is present.
What chemical detects glucose?
Iodine can detect starch, which is a polymer of glucose
What will happen if you pour starch indicator solution into the cell and filled the beaker with starch and glucose solution?
The starch indicator solution will diffuse out of the bag (cell) into the beaker, changing the color of the starch solution to a blue, purple, or black color (assuming that it's iodine). The color of the indicator solution inside the bag will not change, because only the glucose can diffuse into the bag, but the starch cannot diffuse into the bag.
What is in Iodine solution?
It tests for starch
What is Iodine solution?
It tests for starch
Is glucose expected to have a positive iodine test?
No, Starch is
