IKI test.... i think
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.
Biuret solution turns a shade of purple if proteins are present. Specifically, it turns a shade of purple if peptide bonds are present. A peptide bond is the bond formed between amino acids.
Funny cause I actually had this question on my IB biology test today. The least important function of proteins is hormones at least out of the choices on my test.
1. Add 5 cm3 dilute sodium hydroxide (caustic!) to a 1% solution of albumen (the white part of an egg)2. Then add 1% copper sulphate solution3. A purple colour appears and this indicates that protein is present.

Sodium carbonate is added with the purpose to increase the pH of the solution.

Most chemical supply companies sell it. You can do an internet search for "retail sale of Benedicts solution".
Benedicts solution
The Qualitative tests for each of the macronutrients are as follows: Carbohydrates - Iodine test and/or Benedicts test Proteins - Biuret test Fats - Ethanol (Emulsion) test
the solution will turn a 'brick red' colour if positive but will stay blue if negative.
It is normally benedicts solution. Add about 1/4 of the total sugar solution to a test tube and heat it in a hot water bath at around 50 degrees C for 5 min. For example, heat 40mL of sugar water (C12H22O11 aq ) with 10mL of Benedicts soluton (copper and sodium salts). If it is a positive test it will turn yellow.
Benedict's solution is used to test for simple sugars, and Biuret solution is used to test for proteins.
yes
