What is the significance of the blue color when a leaf is treated with iodine?
What is the significance of the blue color when a leaf is treated with iodine?
- It indicates the absence of water
- It indicates the absence of chlorophyll
- It indicates the presence of starch, a product of photosynthesis (correct)
- It indicates the presence of glucose
What is the role of chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis?
What is the role of chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis?
Why do the edges of a leaf appear yellow and the rest of the leaf appear blue when treated with iodine?
Why do the edges of a leaf appear yellow and the rest of the leaf appear blue when treated with iodine?
Study Notes
Photosynthesis Requirements
- Light, water, carbon dioxide, and chlorophyll are essential for photosynthesis to occur
Photosynthesis Product
- Glucose (sugar) is the primary product of the photosynthesis process
Iodine Test
- The blue color that appears when a leaf is treated with iodine indicates the presence of starch
- Starch is a complex carbohydrate produced during photosynthesis
Role of Chlorophyll
- Chlorophyll, a green pigment, plays a crucial role in absorbing light energy for photosynthesis
- Chlorophyll is responsible for trapping light energy and transferring it to other molecules
Iodine Test Results
- The yellow color at the edges of a leaf when treated with iodine indicates the absence of starch
- The blue color in the rest of the leaf indicates the presence of starch, which is produced during photosynthesis
