Study Notes
Photosynthesis
- The green pigment found in chloroplasts is chlorophyll, which plays a crucial role in photosynthesis.
- Dipping a leaf in iodine drops helps to detect the presence of starch, a product of photosynthesis.
- Variegated leaves have white areas because they lack chloroplasts in those regions, resulting in an inability to undergo photosynthesis.
