MCQ
Iodine stains:
- APectin
- BLignified regions
- CCellulose
- DStarch.
✓
Answer
- Starch.
Explanation:
Iodine is used in chemistry as an indicator for starch. When starch is mixed with iodine in solution, an intensely dark blue colour develops, representing a starch/iodine complex.
Starch is a substance common to most plant cells and so a weak iodine solution will stain starch present in the cells. Iodine is one component in the staining technique known as Gram staining, used in microbiology.
