So people wouldnt leaf it at the bar haha
It really depends on the type of leaf and the color of the leaf.
As we know, chlorophyll is what causes the leaf to appear green. From what I know there is a very specific way to extract chlorophyll from leaves. 1. Boil the leaf to kill the cells and arrest all the chemical activity, this also makes it permeable to alcohol and iodine later on. 2. Submerge the leaf in alcohol (ethanol) which is kept in test tube. 3. Put the test tube into the boiling beaker in step one so the alcohol is boiled alone with the leaf in it. The chlorophyll should be extracted as the alcohol turn green. As for the leafs, they usually only appears lighter than it is originally is, which is VERY light green. I have never seen a leaf with absolutely no chlorophyll so can't tell you right here. WARNING: Alcohol in gas form is highly flammable.
A.The pressure placed on the leaf by the cuticleB.The evaporation of water from mesophyll cellsC.The movement of water into the leaf by root pressureD.The increased K+ pumped out of guard cellsE.The movement of water from the veins into the leaf
The cells of lettuce leaf will be plasmolyzed due to exo osmosis.

The leaf was placed in alcohol wafter being placed in the boiling water to extract the green pigment from the leaf.
Alcohol is a solvent: It dissolves stuff. The leaf is porous, full of holes. When the leaf is placed in the alcohol, the alcohol gets into the leafs, and dissolves the pigments in the leaf, probably chlorophyll, which is green. This will turn the alcohol green.
Boiling a leaf in alcohol removes its chlorophyll, so the leaf loses its green colour.
it has to be placed in alcohol first because lipids are soluble in alcohol but not in water.
it turns green because the chlorophyll is evaporated out
what colour does the clear alcohol become once the leaf is boiled in it
because some parts of the leaf will not dissolve in the alcohol and are also too heavy to float.
No
It really depends on the type of leaf and the color of the leaf.
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.
To get to the other side?!??
It does nothing apart from semi fermint the leaf
