Question
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?
Solution
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.
