Experiment to show that water and carbon dioxide are necessary for photosynthesis |
|
Answer» To prove the necessity of carbon dioxide in photosynthesis FOLLOWING steps need to doInsert a part of the leaf of a destarched plant into a conical flask containing potassium hydroxide.Potassium hydroxide solution absorbs the carbon dioxide gas from the AIR PRESENT in the glass bottle.Leave the plant sunlight.After few hours, perform a starch test to this and another leaf of the same plant.Observation-Leaf exposed to the atmosphere are bluish black.Leaf exposed to KOH does not change to blue-black colourResult- Starch is present in the GREEN part of the leaf.Conclusion- PRESENCE of starch proves that chlorophyll is necessary for photosynthesis as it traps sunlight.Mark as Brainliest |
