Enumerate the steps involved in testing a green leaf for the presence of starch.
Using the destarched plant describe step by step how would you proceed to prove that in the absence of light the leaf cannot manufacture starch?
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.
How does the light-dependent reaction differ from the light-independent reaction? What are the end product and reactants in each? Where does each reaction occur within the chloroplast?
The reactions of photosynthesis make up a biochemical pathway.
What is the end product of light and dark reactions of photosynthesis?
Can the stem of a plant be compared with a street with two-way traffic? Give reason.
Write the exact location of palisade cells.
