Question

In the experiment to show that light is necessary for photosynthesis, some of the steps of the experiment deal with the following activities:
I. Starch reacts with iodine and gives blue-black colour
II. Chlorophyll is dissolved in ethanol
III. Hot water makes leaf tissue soft
The correct sequence of these steps is :
(1) I–II–III
(2) II–III–I
(3) III–II–I
(4) I–III–II

Solution

The correct sequence of steps for the above mentioned experiment is II - III - I.

II. Chlorophyll is dissolved in ethanol
III. Hot water makes leaf tissue soft
I. Starch reacts with iodine and gives blue-black colour
