It will die after a few days
The half of the leaf covered with black construction paper would not be able to photosynthesize, as it would not receive any sunlight. The uncovered half of the leaf would continue to photosynthesize, but the overall productivity of the leaf would be reduced.
nothing happen in my experiment
A young leaf covered with carbon paper for one week will likely not receive enough sunlight for photosynthesis to occur effectively. This may lead to the leaf losing its green color and wilting due to a lack of energy production. Over time, the leaf may die off if it is unable to recover and resume normal metabolic functions.
Science!
When a leaf is covered with black paper, it cannot receive sunlight, which is necessary for photosynthesis. Without sunlight, the chlorophyll in the leaf breaks down and the leaf turns black due to the accumulation of other pigments such as anthocyanins and carotenoids.
Yes, the top part of the leaf is usually covered by a waxy surface called the cuticle. This waxy cuticle helps prevent water loss and protects the leaf from physical damage and pathogens.
YES
We did this experiment and honestly didn't notice much of a difference in the leaves. I think what is supposed to happen is that the leaf should start to lose it's green color and wilt because it cannot photosynthesize.
You find the leaf blower in the garage (the garage is being covered by the van.)
The cuticle layer of leaf cells is covered in wax. Wax helps to protect the leaf from excess water loss and damage from environmental factors such as UV light. It also gives leaves a glossy appearance.
It depends on how much salt is in the water. If no salt, the leaf will swell. If it is the same amount in the water as in the leaf, then nothing will happen. If more is outside than inside the leaf, it will shrivel.
No, a peanut is not a leaf. The flower of the peanut after pollenization becomes buried in the ground and develops into seeds covered with a husk.
