Question

While conducting an experiment on photosynthesis, why we keep the plant in complete darkness for
24-48 hours?
A. To destarch the plant
B. To increase assimilation of starch.
C. To deactivate the chloroplast in the plant
D. To activate the enzyme in the leaves

Answer 1

Answer:

Putting the plant in dark for 48 hours would stop the process of photosynthesis as light is required for it. Photosynthesis produces organic sugars which are stored in form of starch in plants. The absence of photosynthesis would lead to consumption of all stored starch making the leaf starchless.
