Parwati collected his saliva and mixed it with liquid A in the test tube. In another
test tube he took only liquid A. After 10 minutes, she added a few drops of
iodine solution in the mixture in the first test tube. It did not show any colour but
when she treated the other test tube with iodine, a blue black colour appeared.
Now answer –

b) What is liquid A?
c) Why did the first test tube not shown any colour change with
iodine while the second one did?
d) Which enzyme is responsible for such a result?
