Question

Explain how to de-starch a plant

Answer 1

Answer:

Destarching occurs in a plant when a part of a plant is deprived of starch as by Translocation.

It is also the process of eliminating starch reserves in a plant for experiments concerning photosynthesis. This is done by leaving the plant in a dark place for a long period of time. Due to the lack of photosynthesis in this place, stored starch is used up, thus the plant is destarched.

Answer 2

Destarching a plant involves preventing photosynthesis, usually by keeping the plant in the dark for 24 to 48 hours until the starch is used by the plant for energy or building blocks. Another way to destarch a plant is to deprive it of carbon dioxide.
