Question
What is the difference between glucose and starch?
✓
Answer
(i) Glucose does not react with iodine solution whereas starch gives blue colour with iodine solution.
(ii) Glucose does not undergo hydrolysis whereas hydrolysis of starch gives glucose.
(iii) Glucose gives red precipitate with Fehling's solution but starch does not give this test.
