A potted plant with variegated leaves was taken in order to prove a factor necessary for photosynthesis. The potted plant was kept in the dark for 24 hours and then placed in bright sunlight for a few hours. Observe the diagrams and answer the questions:

- What aspect of photosynthesis is being tested in the above diagram?
- Represent the process of photosynthesis in the form of a balanced equation.
- Why was the plant kept in the dark before beginning the experiment?
- What will be the result of the starch test performed on Leaf ‘A’ shown in the diagram? Give an example of a plant with variegated leaves
- Draw a neat labelled diagram of a chloroplast.
