Question

cellulose is a polysaccharide but it does not give blue color with iodine. Why?

Answer 1

Answer:

Since cellulose does not have a helical structure like amylose, it does not bind to iodine to form a coloured product. Humans are unable to metabolize cellulose as a source of glucose since our digestive juices lack the enzymes that can hydrolyze the glycosidic linkages.
