Starch produced in a leaf remains stored in it for 2-3 weeks before it is used by other parts of the plant.
In the flowering plants, food is transported in the form of ______.
A healthy croton plant bearing variegated leaves was kept in a dark cupboard to destarch it after which it was placed in sunlight for a few hours. One of the leaves was then plucked and an outline of the leaf marking the green and the non-green regions was drawn. The leaf was then tested for starch. Using the above information, answer the following questions:
- State the aim of the above experiment.
- Name the chemical used for testing the presence of starch.
- Why is the leaf boiled in water and alcohol before testing for the presence of starch?
- What change is seen on the leaf after the starch test?
- Give the chemical equation to represent the process of starch formation in plants.
A candidate in order to study the importance of certain factors in photosynthesis took a potted plant and kept it in the dark for over 24 hours. Then in the early hours of the morning, she covered one of the leaves with black paper in the center only. She placed the potted plant in the sunlight for a few hours, and then tested the leaf which was covered with black paper for starch.
- What aspect of photosynthesis was being investigated?
- Is there any control in this experiment? If so, state the same.
- Why was the plant kept in the dark before the experiment?
- Describe step by step how the candidate proceeded to test the leaf for the presence of starch.
