उत्तर
(i) The aim of the experiment is to prove that CO2 is necessary for photosynthesis.
(ii) Potassium hydroxide absorbs CO2 from the surrounding. It is placed to remove CO2 within the conical flask.
(iii) The leaf inside the conical flask would be tested for the presence of starch by the application of iodine.
(iv) The expected result of the above test is - No change in the colour will be observed.
(v) Yes, it is necessary to similarly test on the outer leaf also to show that leaves present in CO2 show photosynthesis.
