Why are tomato cells stained with methylene blue as opposed to iodine solution?
Tomato cells are stained with methylene blue because it binds to nucleic acids, allowing for visualization of the cell's nucleus and DNA content under a microscope. Iodine solution, on the other hand, is typically used to stain starch grains due to its ability to form a complex with starch molecules, rather than DNA.
What is the colour of the nucleus that is stained with iodine?
The nucleus stained with iodine appears dark purple or black.
When potassium iodide reactsa with potassium bromide in the presence of methylene what is the color change?
The reaction between potassium iodide and potassium bromide in the presence of methylene blue will result in the formation of elemental iodine (I2) which imparts a purple color to the solution. Initially, the reaction mixture will be colorless, but as iodine forms, the solution will turn purple.
What turns blue black when stained with iodine?
Starches turn blue-black when stained with iodine (which usually stains things a reddish-brown or amber color).Iodine turns blue black when starch is present
Can food coloring be used to substitute methylene blue in staining cheek cells?
iodine
Are there cellular structures other than amyloplasts stained intensely by iodine?
Yes epithelial cells are stained
What do you observe when you observe a potato stained with iodine?
If the iodine on/in the potato turns dark blue/purple/black, it means the iodine has reacted to the starch in the potato and has changed color.
What organelles become more visible after being stained with iodine?
Iodine stains starch blue. You will be able to see the plastids where the starch is stored in the cytoplasm.
If stained with iodine what color will a banana turn?
BlackAns2:It is very unlikely that a ripe banana will have enough starch to turn iodine black. When iodine turns black, it is a positive test for the presence of starch.
Are any cellular structures other than amyloplasts stained intensively by iodine?
Yes, other cellular structures such as human epithelial cells can be stained intensely by iodine. However, when examining amyloplasts, you must come to that conclusion yourself. Are any cellular structures other than amyloplasts stained intensely by iodine? What can you conclude about the location of starch in storage cells of potato? Good luck and ChaCha on!
What is the colour for a plant cell's starch grains?
The colour for a plant cell's starch grains is typically blue or black when stained with iodine solution. This is due to the formation of a complex between iodine and starch, which results in the characteristic colour change.
What kind of stain are used to stain plant and animal cells?
Plant cells are typically stained with dyes like iodine to highlight structures like nuclei and starch granules. Animal cells can be stained with dyes like hematoxylin and eosin to distinguish different cell components like nuclei and cytoplasm. These stains help researchers visualize and study the cells under a microscope.
