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.
