To remove existing starch from the leaves, ensuring any starch found later is a result of the experiment, not pre-existing.

To establish a baseline for starch, showing the starting amount before any change due to light.

To create a control group where one part of the leaf is not exposed to light, enabling comparison with the exposed part.

To accurately document the experimental setup, showing which parts of the leaf are exposed to light and which aren't.

To allow photosynthesis to occur, giving light to fuel the process to create starches.

To allow the unexposed part of the leaf to be tested for starch, enabling the comparison with the exposed part.

To determine if starch was produced in the light-exposed area and if the control (un-exposed) part has starch.

To ensure that any observed starch is a direct result of the experiment, ruling out pre-existing starch in the leaf.

To show what happens to a part of the leaf that's not exposed to light, allowing a comparison with the light-exposed part.

To allow adequate time for photosynthesis to occur, enabling the production of starch.

Ensures all variables (except light exposure) remain constant, allowing more accurate comparison of results.

To ensure the best possible conditions for photosynthesis to take place.

To record the exact areas of the leaf that were exposed to light and areas that were not exposed, aiding in clarity and precision of results.

To avoid damaging the leaf, ensuring no tissue damage to allow a proper test analysis.

The presence or absence of starch in different parts of the leaf, enabling insights into the effect of light.

A blue-black color, demonstrating the presence of starch, due to the presence of light in photosynthesis.

No color change (or pale yellow), denoting the absence of starch due to the absence of light in photosynthesis.

The initial iodine test displays no starch; the following test will show starch presence in exposed areas and absence in unexposed areas.

Light is crucial for photosynthesis, directly leading to starch creation.

Proof that starch production is solely dependent on light exposure during photosynthesis, demonstrating how different light exposure conditions lead to different starch results.

No starch production in any part of the leaf, showcasing the essential role of light in the photosynthesis process.

Increased starch presence in the light-exposed areas, showing a stronger effect of longer duration light exposure on starch creation.

Indicates potential errors in the experiment, meaning a critical step likely failed.

Less starch production compared to white light, showing that some wavelengths of light are more effective in photosynthesis.

Chlorophyll is likely involved in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, as light is essential for starch production and photosynthesis.

Removing existing starch from a plant's leaves before the experiment to ensure any starch observed later is a direct result of the experiment, not pre-existing starch.

A test used to detect the presence of starch in a leaf, where the leaf turns blue-black if starch is present.

A part of the experiment identical to the main set-up except for the variable being studied. This is used to compare and isolate the effect of the variable being studied.

The specific variable being studied in an experiment. In this example, it's the presence or absence of light.

The variable that the experimenter directly manipulates or changes. In this experiment, it is the presence of light.

The variable that is measured or observed in response to changes in the independent variable. Here, it is the presence of starch.

Variables that are kept constant throughout the experiment to ensure the observed results are due to the independent variable.

To block light from reaching a specific part of the leaf, creating a control group where light is absent.

To allow enough time for photosynthesis to occur and produce a measurable amount of starch.

Ensures all variables besides light exposure are consistent for accurate comparison.

A blue-black color due to the presence of starch, highlighting that light is necessary for photosynthesis.

The control set-up provides a baseline for comparison, ensuring that any changes observed in the experimental set-up are due to the presence or absence of light, not other factors.

The key variables are the presence of light (independent) and the presence of starch (dependent). Other factors are controlled to keep conditions consistent.

The iodine test is used to detect the presence of starch in the leaves, which is a direct product of photosynthesis.

The conclusion is that light is essential for photosynthesis, as demonstrated by the production of starch in the light-exposed part of the leaf and the absence of starch in the covered part.
