Answer 2

Yes, if a green plant is placed in sunlight in an air tight bell jar with a beaker containing lime water, the lime water will turn milky.

Explanation:

• A green plant contains chlorophyll. Chlorophyll traps the solar energy and converts it into chemical energy.

• This process of conversion of 'sunlight into chemical energy' is called Photosynthesis.

• Due to photosynthesis, carbon dioxide will be released, which gets trapped due to air tight bell jar.

• Carbon dioxide released, will then react with the 'lime water' present in the jar. Thus, the 'lime water turns milky'.
