Q.
In an experiment to test the presence of starch in a leaf, the plucked leaf is first boiled in water for a few minutes. This is an important step in the experiment because it :
(1) converts glucose made in the leaf into starch
(2) dissolves chlorophyll present in the green leaf
(3) extracts starch to destarch the leaf
(4) makes the leaf more permeable to iodine solution
Q.
In an experiment to test the presence of starch in a leaf, the leaf is boiled in alcohol for a few minutes using a water bath. This is an essential step in the experiment because alcohol:
(1) softens the leaf
(2) disinfects the leaf
(3) allows iodine to enter the leaf
(4) dissolves chlorophyll from leaf

Q.
In the experiment to show that sunlight is necessary for photosynthesis:
(a) What is done to destarch the green leaves of the potted plant initially?
(b) What is done to a part of destarched leaf so that photosynthesis may not take place in that part of the leaf (before keeping the potted plant in sunlight)?
(c) How is chlorophyll removed from the green leaf before further testing?
(d) Which reagent is used to test the presence/absence of starch in the parts of experimental leaf?
