उत्तर
(i) and (iii)
Explanation:
When iodine is added to starch, it turns blue-black in colour. Potato and bread are rich in starch. Therefore, boiled and mashed potato and a slice of bread turn blue-black in colour when tested with iodine. Glucose solution does not change colour because it is a digestive product of starch.

When a person puts food in his mouth, then teeth cut it into small pieces, chew and grind it. The glands A in the mouth secrete a substance B which is mixed with the food by tongue. The substance B contains an enzyme C which starts the digestion of food in the mouth. The slightly digested food from the mouth goes down a tube D. The special type of movements E in the walls of tube D push the food into stomach for further digestion. The stomach wall secretes gastric juice containing three substance F, G and H. One of the functions of F is to kill bacteria which may enter the stomach with food. The substance G protects the inside layer of stomach from the damaging effect of substance F whereas substance H is and enzyme for digestion. The partially digested food then enters into small intestine for further digestion.
