What is the colour of a leaf when the chlorophyll is removed?
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.
What stained leaf?
chlorophyll makes the leaf green....
What leaf cells are tightly packed and trap the energy in sunlight?
chlorophyll
Where is chlorophyll housed in a leaf?
Chlorophyll is in the cell structure called chloroplast.
What does phyll mean in chlorophyll?
"Phyll" in "chlorophyll" means "leaf." Chlorophyll is the pigment found in the chloroplasts of plant cells that gives plants their green color and is essential for the process of photosynthesis.
When a leaf turn from redto brown in fall what two pigment may have been removed from the leaf?
chlorophyll
Why does ethanol turn a leaf white?
Ethanol can extract chlorophyll from the leaf, causing it to lose its green color and appear white. Chlorophyll is the pigment responsible for the green color in plants, and when it is removed by ethanol, the underlying white color of the leaf becomes visible.

Does a leaf have chlorophyll?
All leaves that photosynthesize have chlorophyll.
Why does leaf turn light green when boiled in ethanol?
add the leaf to boiling ethanol in a water bath for a few minutes (the boiling ethanol dissolves the chlorophyll and removes the green colour from the leaf - it turns white so it is easy to see the change in colour) wash with water to rehydrate and soften the leaf

What happens to a leaf when placed in the alcohol and what the alcohol removed from it?
When a leaf is placed in alcohol, the alcohol acts as a solvent and removes the chlorophyll from the leaf, causing it to lose its green color. Other pigments present in the leaf may remain, giving the leaf a different color appearance.
Why did leaf had to be boiled in ethanol when testing leaf for starch?
Boiling the leaf in ethanol removes chlorophyll, which can interfere with the test for starch using iodine. This process helps to ensure accurate detection of starch in the leaf tissue without any color interference from chlorophyll.
What leaf cells are tightly packed and trap the energy in sunlight?
chlorophyll
Which leaf would contain more chlorophyll a dark green leaf or a light green leaf Is this a trick question?
this is not a trick question it just needs thought a dark green leaf would have more chlorophyll because chlorophyll is the substance that causes the leaf to turn green
What is the cells with chlorophyll and veins?
A leaf is a cell that has both chlorophyll and veins.
Where is chlorophyll housed in a leaf?
Chlorophyll is in the cell structure called chloroplast.
