Question

write the procedure of mohl's half leaf experiment​

Answer 1

Answer:

The main aim of the Mohl's half-leaf experiment is to prove that CO2 Is necessary for photosynthesis.

Take healthy potted plant with thin leaves. Before the acivity we have to keep the plant in dark for 24 hours. Put potassium hydroxide pellets or solution in the wide mouth bottle. Insert the split cork in the mouth of the bottle. Insert one of the destarched plant leaves into a transparent bottle. Leave the entire arrangement along with bottle in sunlight.

Answer 2

Moll's half-leaf experiment is done to show that carbon dioxide is necessary for photosynthesis to occur.

Explanation:

• A potted plant, caustic potash, wide- mouthed bottle, iodine, split cork, and water are the materials required for the experiment.
• In this experiment, half part of one leaf is inserted into a corked bottle containing KOH solution.
• The plant is kept in a dark room for destarching i.e. to remove the starch stored in the plants.
• The plant is then placed in sunlight for a few hours to make the plant perform photosynthesis.
• The leaf is then tested for starch with iodine solution to analyze the photosynthesis process.  
• Moll's half-leaf experiment concludes that requirements for photosynthesis include CO2, light, chlorophyll, and water.
