Question

how is starch present even in those parts of the plants where chlorophyll is absent?

Answer 1

Answer:

The leaf on the left is a variegated leaf. The green parts contain chlorophyll and photosynthesise to make starch. The white part of the leaf does not contain chlorophyll, so does not photosynthesise. ... Parts of its leaves are covered with dark paper, and the plant is left in the light for a few hours

Answer 2

Answer:

here u go

Explanation:

In the leaf, excess glucose is rapidly converted to starch, so we test leaves for starch to show that photosynthesis has happened, rather than testing for glucose. We often indicate that light and chlorophyll are required for the process by adding them to the equation near the arrow.
