an odourless, tasteless white substance occurring widely in plant tissue and obtained chiefly from cereals and potatoes. It is a polysaccharide which functions as a carbohydrate store and is an important constituent of the human diet.
The leaves of the plant are now tested for the presence of starch. If starch is present, then it has been synthesized by photosynthesis. We can then conclude that the presence of starch indicates that photosynthesis has taken place.
