Why do you need to remove chlorophyll from a leaf when testing for starch?
Chlorophyll has a function of converting starch into glucose and other simpler plant products.Thats why we have to remove cholorphyll before starting a test for starch.
Why did leaf had to be boiled in ethanol when testing leaf for starch?
Ethanol dissolves chlorophyll hence further phtosynthetic activity is stopped in the abscence of light and the leaf becomes transparent (colorless). the colorless leaf takes better stain with iodene while testing for the presence of starch.
What happen when leaf boil in alcohol what the alcoholl remove from the leaf?
Boiling a leaf in alcohol removes its chlorophyll, so the leaf loses its green colour.
Does photosynthesis remove carbon dioxide?
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make food from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light. Through photosynthesis, plants remove carbon dioxide from the air, and release oxygen for us to breathe.

Can alcohol be used to remove chlorophyll from leaves?

You can remove chlorophyll from leaves by breaking down the plant cells' membranes using heat and rubbing alcohol
Which substance does hot alcohol remove from green plants?
Chlorophyll
How do you remove chlorophyll from plant cells?
You boil it in an alcohol bath.
During photosynthesis green plants remove carbon dioxide from the air and produce?
6 CO2 + 5 H2O --> C6H10O5 + 6 O2 Photosynthesis: carbon dioxide and water --> carbohydrate and oxygen (!)
How does photosynthesis remove carbon from the atmosphere?
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make food from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light. Through photosynthesis, plants remove carbon dioxide from the air, and release oxygen for us to breathe.
What substances can remove permanent markers?
There are many substances such as acetone, rubbing achohol, vinegar, and ammonia.
How do you prove photosynthesis produces oxygen?
To test for chlorophyll:1- We will take a variegated leaf and detach it2- then we will detach the leaf and draw the same leaf on the paper to see the change.3- then we will test for starch4- Only the green places with chlorophyll will turn black blue in color the places without chlorophyll will become brown in color.
