Question

A student carried out an experiment to model the digestion of starch by the enzyme amylase in the small intestine.

Visking tubing is a selectively permeable membrane that has small holes in it to allow small molecules to pass through. At regular intervals, the student tested the liquid inside and outside the Visking tube.
How could the student test for the presence of starch inside the Visking tubing?

Answer 1

Answer:

Put one drop on the dimple tile, and the rest in a test tube. Then put the teat pipette back in the water outside the Visking tubing. Test the drops of liquid in the dimple tile by adding one drop of iodine solution from the dropper bottle. If they turn blue-black, the liquid contains starch.
