Describe in detail the specimen of a potato with a drop of iodine in comparison with a potatoe
with just a drop of water under the microscope.
Solution
Answer:
Starch (a carbohydrate) can be identified by a positive iodine test. Few drops of iodine solution
are added to a raw or boiled sample of the substance suspected of containing starch. If starch is
present, the substance will turn blue-black in the area where the iodine solution touches it.
Substances with very small amounts of starch will turn faint blue or greenish instead of blue-
black. Many materials of biological origin have high starch content. These materials can be
identified with the iodine test.
The sample specimen with potato and a drop of iodine will turn blue black concluding for the
presence of large amount of starch.
The sample specimen with potato and a drop of water will not undergo a change in colour.
