The answer is photosynthesis. Photosynthesis consists of a main step called the light reaction. During this step, ATP and NADPH are made as energy sources. They are then transferred to the next and final step in photosynthesis, the Dark Reaction, or the Calvin Cycle (They are the same thing). ATP and NADPH power the Calvin Cycle, producing two GP3's. These GP3's form together to make either glucose, starch, cellulose, or proteins.

Why do green leaves turn blue black when iodine is added?

because the leaves have photosynthesized- glucose is produced. therefore, the excess glucose is converted to starch. The starch is then stored in the leaf-starch is what causes the "green" leaf to turn blue black, as iodine turns blue-black when it reacts with starch.:P


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 is the purpose of the alcohol in testing a leaf for starch?

It is to remove the chloroplast and dissolve in the alcohol and turn it green.


Do the non -green areas of a leaf contain starch?

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 :)


Why do only some parts of a variegated leaf make starch?

Photosynthesis, the process by which glucose(and by proxy, starch) is produced requires chlorophyll, which gives leaves the green colour.
