Imagine that student A studied the importance of certain factors in photosynthesis. He took a potted plant and kept it in dark for over 24 hours. In the early hours of the next morning, he covered one of the leaves with dark paper in the centre only. Then he placed the plant in sunlight for a few hours and tested the leaf which was covered with black paper for starch.a) What aspect of photosynthesis was being investigated?b) Why was the plant kept in the dark before the experiment?c) How will you prove that starch is present in the leaves?d) What are the other raw materials for photosynthesis?

a) The student aimed to study the role of light and its effect on photosynthesis.
b) Photosynthesis is a process in plants to synthesize sugars that are required for the plant activities and for its survival with light source.
- Keeping plants in dark before the experiment will temporarily stop the production of sugars like starch.
- And only depend on the stored starch and utilize it completely.
c) Then initiation of the experiment is done by closing a part of the leaf to avoid photosynthesis in that part.
- And kept in the Sun light for photosynthesis to happen.
- After the adequate time the leaf is heat boiled in water and bleached in alcohol to stop all the reactions and remove leaf components.
- This is then stained with iodine, presence of starch is indicated with blue color. And the covered portion of the leaf does not give any color indicating absence of starch.
- Leaf part with presence of starch shows the processed photosynthesis in presence of light.
- And the no colored part of leaf shows absence of photosynthesis.
d) Apart from light, Carbon dioxide and water are the raw materials for photosynthesis.
