How would you demostate the need for chloropyhll in plants?
You can perform an experiment to show that chlorophyll is necessary by using a a potted plant having variegated leaves.(This ia a leaf having several different colours) Destarch the plant by keeping it in the dark for several days. During this time, no more starch is made and the starch present is used up in respiration. The plant is then placed in strong sulinght fo a few hours. Remove one leaf and test for starch with iodine solution. You will notice that the non-green parts of the leaf turns reddish brown due to the absence of starch. However, the green parts of the leaf turns blue black confirming the presence of starch. Hence, it is demonstrated that chlorophyll is needed in plants.
How do you test that sunlight is necessary for photosynthesis?
1. Destarch a potted plant by placing it in a dark place for about 2 hours. 2. then remove one leaf and test it for starch. 3. sandwich a leaf which is still attached to the plant, between two pieces of black paper. Each paper has a certain pattern cut out from it. Fasten the papers with paper clip. Place the plant in strong sunlight. 4. After a few hours, remove the leaf and test it for starch also.

What happens when you cover the leaf of potted plant with strip of black paper?
We did this experiment and honestly didn't notice much of a difference in the leaves. I think what is supposed to happen is that the leaf should start to lose it's green color and wilt because it cannot photosynthesize.
Would leaf function as a organ to make food for a plant?
Well, I suppose you could call the leaf an organ for the entire plant, but the real producers of energy for a plant is the mitochondria in the plant's cells.
