Answer 1

Why is it necessary to destarch a plant before performing any experiment on photosynthesis?

It is necessary to destarch a plant before performing photosynthesis experiment because the amount of starch formed during the experiment should be validated.  

Plants produce starch through an important process called photosynthesis with the help of the chlorophyll pigment that is present in the leaves. This is done by using water and carbon dioxide as raw materials with the presence of sunlight.  

Thus the amount of starch produced will be ‘directly proportional’ to the ‘rate of photosynthesis’.  

Answer 2

Answer:

It's important to destarch the plant because the amount of the starch produced in the process directly depends on the rate of the photosynthesis
