    Study Notes

    Starch Presence in Leaves

    • A color change to blue-black indicates the presence of starch in a leaf during the experiment.

    Von Helmont's Findings

    • Von Helmont initially believed that water was essential for the increase in plant mass, conducting experiments to validate this idea.

    Photosynthesis Materials

    • Scientists generally think that carbon dioxide and water are the key materials involved in the process of photosynthesis, along with light energy.

    Boiling Leaf Process

    • The steps of boiling the leaf in water and then transferring it to methylated spirit aim to kill the leaf and remove chlorophyll, respectively, to prepare it for starch testing.

    Chlorophyll Presence Indication

    • A yellow or orange color change in the leaf during the experiment would suggest the presence of chlorophyll.
