| It has been experimentally proved that the juice of an unripe fruit (apple, pear) gives a reaction with iodine, and that of a ripe fruit does not give such a reaction. Explain why this is happening.
This is because there is starch in unripe fruits, which is then converted into glucose or sucrose, which do not react with iodine.
