प्रश्न
The diagram given below represents an experiment to prove the importance of a factor in photosynthesis. Answer the questions that follow :
What will you observe in the experimental leaf after the starch test?
उत्तर
The leaf turns blue black except in the covered region. As the region didnot receive light, photosynthesis did not occur. Hence no starch was formed there. The uncovered region received light and starch was formed there due to photosynthesis.

In a typical leaf, photosynthesis occurs mainly in ___________
A candidate studied the importance of certain factors in photosynthesis. He took a potted plant and kept in the dark for over 24 hours. In the early hours of the next morning, he covered one of the leaves with black paper in the centre only.
