Does the fruits of green plants store starch?
no, only green plants with red leaves
When does starch accumulate in leaves and how do you test for it?
Starch accumulates in leaves when it goes through photosynthesis, and they store extra food in the form of starch.
How do you exract starch from leaves?
You cannot.ANS#2:By the process of Retro-gradation starch can be extracted from leaves.
Suppose you want to produce a plant cultivar that has red flowers and speckled leaves you have two cultivars each having one of the desired traits how would you proceed?
Cross polinate the two cultivars. Plant the seeds produced. You should then have plants that exhibit traits where some have speckled leaves with non-red flowers, some have non red flowers with no speckled leaves, some have red flowers with non speckled leaves and some have red flowers with speckled leaves.Cross polinate the red flowers with speckled leaves with each other only, plant the seeds and repeat until you repeatedly get only red flowers with speckled leaves.
Are brussel spouts leaves?
Yes, the brussels sprout is a cultivar of wild cabbage that is grown for its edible buds.
Is starch stored in leaves of some plants?
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
Is there starch in purple leaves?
yes
What types of substances are stored by plants?
starch is one substance stored in plants because starch is not osmotically active
Would starch be found in leaves that are neither green nor white?
yes there would be starch in it
How does plant store food in their leaves?
They store glucose as starch in their leaves. starch is a branched polymer of glucose. it it used as it is stable and does not upset the water potential of the cell.
What happens to the sugar produced in the leaves of a plant?
it is changed to starch before it can be stored in the leaves,stems,or roots.
What would be the conclusion after testing a leaf for starch?
Starch is produced by leaves during Photosynthesis, therefore if the leaf has not been exposed to light then it will not contain starch, and so when tested the Iodine will stay Yellow/Brown. Consequently if the leaf has been left in the light Photosynthesis will have taken place and when tested the Iodine will go Blue/Black showing that Starch is present. Hope this helps :)
