The starch in a variegated Coleus leaf is stored in the pigmented parts of the leaf. Coleus is a flowering plant is usually considered an ornamental plant because of its color.
starch is found on the green part of the vareigated leaf because starch needs chlorophyll is needed for the producyion of sarch.
the leaf that contains starch will turn blue/black if not it will stay the same colour
Photosynthesis, the process by which glucose(and by proxy, starch) is produced requires chlorophyll, which gives leaves the green colour.
it is temporarily stored as starch in the starch granules.moreover,it can also be converted to simpler sugars at night.
To stop or slow down transpiration
after the plant photosynthesises, it has some left over glucose that the leaves covert into starch. The starch is then stored in the chlorophyl (the green pigment in the leaves). At night or in the dark, the plant can't photosynthesise so it respires the stored starch instead
in a variegated leaf only the green areas of the leaf turns blue black in colour when tested for starch what is the best way to explan that
the leaf that contains starch will turn blue/black if not it will stay the same colour
Leaves that do not have a uniform colour are called variegated leaves.
Photosynthesis, the process by which glucose(and by proxy, starch) is produced requires chlorophyll, which gives leaves the green colour.
A leaf on a variegated plant is a leaf of different colors. Usually green and cream or pale brown.
it is temporarily stored as starch in the starch granules.moreover,it can also be converted to simpler sugars at night.
No the chloroplasts do
coleus amboinicus
Variegated leafed plant is useful for demonstrating that chlorophyll is needed for photosynthesis because variegated leaf is a plant which uses chlorophyll to absorb light so it can get its color
Coleus blumei Benth.
because the leaves have photosynthesized- glucose is produced. therefore, the excess glucose is converted to starch. The starch is then stored in the leaf-starch is what causes the "green" leaf to turn blue black, as iodine turns blue-black when it reacts with starch.:P
some of the sugar is consumed by the plant while the remaining sugar is left at the stem to be stored as starch
