Answer:
Plants carry out photosynthesis to make food from the raw materials they gather from their environment. We can investigate the conditions needed for this process and the factors which affect its rate.
Explanation:
ok
To show that green parts (you mean leave) ,here is an activity-
1)Take a variegated croton leaf which contains green coloured patches. (variegated means some parts of the leaves are white due to absence of chlorophyll)
2)Boil it in alcohol in a water bath to dissolve out green pigment and decolourise the leaf.
3)Remove the leaf from boiling alcohol .
4)Dip it in hot water.
5)Spread the decolourised leaf flat on a white surface and drop iodine solution on it.
6)The parts containing starch will turn blue-black but the parts without starch strain brown or yellow with iodine.
