No, a leaf is part of a plant. Therefore the leaf is made up of "plant" cells. So it has a cell wall.
Certain enzymes in bananas convert starch in the banana into sugar, which is part of the ripening process and what makes the fruit sweeter and softer as it ripens. Therefore, the greener the fruit is the more starch it will contain.
Chloroplast
Actually, chlorophyl is what gives plants their green colour/pigment. so my theory is that any part of a plant that isn't green doesn't contain chlorophyl
The spongy layer is part of a layer called the mesophyll layer, the other part is called the palisade layer. The mesophyll layer is found just below the upper epidermis and is the part of the leaf where photosynthesis happens. Photosynthesis is the process in which a plant uses carbon dioxide, water, sunlight and a chemical found in the chlorophyll it contains to make starch; a plants food source.
Starch is a complex carbohydrate. The presence of starch in leaves or plants can be detected by iodine test. In microscopic studies, starch granules can be seen under magnification inside the cells.
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.
All grains contain starch, as starch is a storage of energy inside the seed to allow it to grow.

Bananas are a good source of dietary starch. Different types of bananas have different percentages of starch content. As bananas ripen the starch changes to dextrin and glucose. Cooking bananas (plantains) are about 25% starch, which is much more starch that 'eating' bananas have, which can be in the range of 5% to 6% of the edible part of the fruit.

The endosperm stores starch, just like other cereal grains.
Tapioca starch does not contain gliadins, therefore it is safe for people who are on a gluten free diet. It will not make your lupus flare.
The smallest part of starch is glucose.....but I am not sure.......
The plant leaf which present chloroplast contain pegment such as chllorophyl a is green coloure pigment present in green plant
Iodine binds to starch and would be primarily used to stain plant cells. The organelles that would be stained darkest would be the nucleus, amyloplast, which store starches, and chloroplasts which produce it.
The green leaves are the bit that absorbs in the sun to make Photosynthesis.Also if you want to test for starch to boil the leaf till it goes white then drip some Iodine And look for a signs traces of starch. That is the long way to find out if the leaves are the ones who develop the phase of Photosynthesis. Hope this helps!
