i belive that the leave was covered so that lis=ght could not pass through them as we are testing whether light is needed for starch reproduction
The purpose of keeping the leaf in the dark is to prevent photosynthesis from happening. By covering it with a cardboard cut-out with a specific design, you can control which parts of the leaf are exposed to light, allowing for experiments on the effects of light on photosynthesis in different areas of the leaf.
Almost all photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts, specifically in the chlorophyll molecules located in the mesophyll cells of the leaf. The mesophyll cells are located in the middle layer of the leaf, where they are well exposed to light.
no because the leaves or anyother part of the plan has to be exposed to the sun so the energy from the light will hit the plant and it can crreate sugar to supply energy (with carbon dioxide as well)
A tropical shrub with leaves sensitive to touch or light is likely to be a Mimosa pudica plant, also known as the sensitive plant or touch-me-not. When the leaves are touched or exposed to light, they exhibit rapid leaf movement in response to physical stimulation.
There is no official rules on how the wear the poppy. The leaf appears on English poppies but not on Scottish ones. Also the Royal British Legion has produced metals pins and some years the leaf has been at the 1 o'clock position. When I was in the army, not once were we told that the leaf had to be at the 11 o'clock position. This is a 'legend' that has come to fruition over the last few years. Maybe the British Legion will make a rule one day regarding the leaf but as of today there is no ruling or etiquette regarding the leaf.
Leaves exposed to light undergo the process of photosynthesis, where they convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This process occurs in the chloroplasts of the leaf cells, with the help of chlorophyll pigment. Ultimately, the conclusion is the production of glucose and oxygen as byproducts.
The leaf is held at a right angle to the light source to maximize the surface area exposed to sunlight for photosynthesis. This position ensures that the chloroplasts in the leaf receive optimal light energy for the process of photosynthesis to occur efficiently.

The shape of the leaf allows for a large surface area to be exposed to sunlight, maximizing the amount of light energy that can be absorbed for photosynthesis. This enables the leaf to efficiently convert the light energy into chemical energy for growth and development.
Almost all photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts, specifically in the chlorophyll molecules located in the mesophyll cells of the leaf. The mesophyll cells are located in the middle layer of the leaf, where they are well exposed to light.
When green light shines on a green leaf, the leaf absorbs most of the green light and reflects some of it, giving the leaf its green color. Red light is not absorbed as efficiently by the leaf, so it gets reflected, making the leaf appear green under white light.
no because the leaves or anyother part of the plan has to be exposed to the sun so the energy from the light will hit the plant and it can crreate sugar to supply energy (with carbon dioxide as well)
The function of a plant leaf is to provide a structure in which chloroplasts can be exposed to sunlight so that they can perform photosynthesis.
When light energy strikes a leaf, some of it is absorbed by pigments in the leaf for photosynthesis, some is reflected, and some is transmitted through the leaf. The absorbed light energy is converted into chemical energy by the leaf for use in metabolic processes.
When light energy strikes a leaf then chlorophill (a) present in leaf absorb that light energy . By use of that energy photosynthesis occurs.
the leaf reflects on the light so it prevents it to burn (fire)
Hold the leaf up to a light source. If you can see light passing through the leaf, it is see-through.
