There is no sun so photosynthsis cant be performed.

Is light necessary for starch production in green leave or plant?
yes
What does plants need to make starch?
light is required by the plants to activate their chlorophyll smallest unit of light energy is a photon which also dissociates water molecules in a plant .this process is called photolysis which is used in production of starch
Can a beam of light pass through starch solution?
yes.There are numerous starch particles in the starch solution.They reflect light to our eyes thus we can see light beams.
Does exposure to bright light causes thyroid glands to increase productions of melatonin?
Exposure to bright light causes the brain's pineal glad to decrease its production of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin in the morning and increase it in the evening. In a nut shell, melatonin helps you sleep and most people don't sleep when light is shining.
Is Camera Exposure caused because light is a wave?
The exposure is controlled by the camera's light meter
How did the duration of light affect the leaf's ability to form starch?
Leaves absorb the light from the sun as energy, and store that energy in starch. Having less sunlight results in less starch.
Why does less light pass through a mixture when the starch is more concentrated?
Starch is not soluble so therefore a higher concentration will have more starch molecules stopping light from going through.
Why the leaves of plant kept in dark do not produce starch?
A leaf needs light energy to photosynthesise. The way it can obtain this energy is from a light source, and the dark has no light sources-so the leaf cannot obtain light energy, it cannot photosynthesise. This process involves producing starch (as glucose is made, then converted into starch) and so no photosynthesis=no starch.
What color change does starch indicator solution make in the absence of starch?
light orange/ yellow
Why is starch an indirect measurement of photosynthesis?
Starch is a plants way of storing energy, why it is not a way of measurement as starch levels is determined by how much extra light, once the plant receives enough light it will turn glucose into starch. Starch levels however could be used for the opposite, by measuring starch & glucose you can work out the rate of respiration, just not photosynthesis.
Does a tan or sun burn mean a result of exposure to ultraviolet light?
Both a tan and a burn result from exposure to ultraviolet light.
What is the effect of longer exposure to ultraviolet light?
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light can have a number of effects on bacteria. For example, the exposure can lead to mutations in the bacteria's DNA or complete eradication of the bacteria, giving UV light antibacterial properties.
