Cellulose does not form blue colour with Iodine because

[Ridhima]

Cellulose does not form blue colour with Iodine because :

1. It breaks down when iodine reacts with it.

2. It is a disaccharide.

3. It is a helical molecule.

4. It does not contain complex helices and hence cannot hold iodine molecules.

[Mystudycart]

The correct answer is (4). It does not contain complex helices and hence cannot hold iodine molecules.

Cellulose does not form blue colour with Iodine because it does not contain complex helices and hence cannot hold iodine molecules.
