Presence of nutrients is detected using various chemical reagents. Glucose is detected using Benedict's solution, while proteins are tested using the biuret reagent while lipids are tested using ethanol and water. In addition starch is tested using the Lugol's iodine. Therefore, the correct answer is 3 (starch- Lugol's iodine.
