iii. What is the aim of the above experiment and what do you observe ?
Answers
Answer:
I - sunlight, water. the end product is glucose
2 - please ask any other
3 - the aim of the above experiment is to demonstrate the requirements and process occur in plants. mark as a brainlist answer
i) Raw material required for photosynthesis is Carbon dioxide and water.
End product is glucose and oxygen gas
ii) Aim-to do destarching of plant
materials needed- a plant
method:
1) Keep the plant in a dark room such that no sunlight can enter
2) Now after 3-4 days take out and put iodine solution to it.
Observation: When we will put iodine in it then there will be no change and the leaves will not turn blue black, This shows there is no starch present
Conclusion: Destarching is done by leaving the plant in a dark room as it cannot make food as there is no sunlight because of which no starch formation is there.
