photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a by-product.
To prove the necessity of sunlight in photosynthesis following steps need to do
Take a plant with destarched leaf.
Leaf is partially covered with black paper on which a design is cut.
Expose this plant to sunlight for few hours and perform a starch test with iodine solution.
Observation-
Covered leaf part shows brown colouration.
Exposed leaf shows blue-black colour.
Result- Starch is present in the exposed leaf.
Conclusion- Leaf exposed to sunlight give iodine test, proving that sunlight is necessary for photosynthesis.
