use iodine- in the presents of starch it changes color, best in a testube, but you can inject it into a potato and get something simular. try putting iodine in the plants water or somering simular.
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.
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.
Green beans contain about 5-7% starch by weight, depending on the variety and maturity of the beans. Starch content is typically higher in fresh green beans compared to canned or frozen varieties.
Certain enzymes in bananas convert starch in the banana into sugar, which is part of the ripening process and what makes the fruit sweeter and softer as it ripens. Therefore, the greener the fruit is the more starch it will contain.
bleaching removes the chlorophyll pigments from the leaf, making it easier to observe the starch produced during the starch test. Chlorophyll can interfere with the detection of starch as it also gives a green color to the leaf. By bleaching the leaf, we can ensure that any starch present is more visually distinguishable.
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
All green plants store starch
Organisms such as green plants produce starch.
The starch is converted into glucose.

A non-green leaf lacking chloroplasts will not be able to synthesize food which later on gets converted into starch. So it will not show the presence of starch in the test.

yes there would be starch in it
Yes, non-green leaves that are exposed to light can still contain starch. Starch is produced through photosynthesis, so any leaf that is actively producing energy through photosynthesis can accumulate starch, regardless of its color.
yes black beans have carbohydrates in them!
I did this lab experiment in my biology class. When Lugol's indicator is added to glucose, it turns to a dark green colour for starch it turns black and for surcose it turns yellow.
