To clarify: We boiled alcohol with a leaf and tested for starch with iodine (present in the veins), We also covered a leaf with tin foil and came back the next day. The leaf was more green in the veins and more discolored farther away from the veins. This lab was suppose to show us glucose is made by the leaf, but all it proves is that starch is in the veins, right?

What is the purpose of detecting the presence of starch in leaf?

It can be used to prove that photosynthesis has happened.


Suggest an experiment to prove that theleaf is the organ of photosynthesis?

Iodine test. The leaves of plants absorb light & perform photosynyhesis. photosynthesis means In the presence of chlorophyll & light carbon dioxide & water combines to form carbohydrates(sugars). Leaf dipped into iodine solution after exposing to light will become blue in colour. It shows the presence of carbhydrates. That means leaf is the organ doing photosynthesis. generally iodine reacts with Carbohydrates and gives blue color.


What evidence do you have that phtotsynthesis occurs in plants?

if you extratct the oxygen of leaf disks and put them on water in a well lit environment, and they sink at first but later rise, that would prove that photosynthesis occurs in plants because oxygen is a product of photosynthesis abd would help the disks float


How do you prove that cellular respiration an anabolic process in photosynthesis?

basically you need to have so muck swag and then you need to get some yolo. Then go to Hogwards and YELL I GOT YOLO SWAG! Trust me, i am a dolphin. :)


What experiments prove that photosynthesis takes place in plants?

The starch test proves if there is any chlorophyll in the plant (the green pigment in leaves.) If there is chlorophyll in a plant, photosynthesis takes place. A plant cannot do photosynthesis if there is no or hardly any chlorophyll in the plant.

Where is the last location on cryptids island?

Once you have gotten the lantern and the footprint photo from the Himalayas, you still cannot prove the Yeti. You can prove the other three cryptids (Nessie, the chupacabra, the Jersey Devil). Once you do, a fifth location will appear on the helicopter controls: you must go to the Northwest to chase Bigfoot.


If 24 plants were left in a dark closet for 2 weeks and were all dead after that what would this prove?

that plants require light to live/ survive that the plants were dependant on photosynthesis
