Here\'s a step-by-step list of the procedure: 1\. Obtain a destarched plant from the teacher. 2\. Pick a leaf from the plant. 3\. Carry out an iodine test on the leaf. 4\. Use a piece of aluminium foil to wrap part of a leaf on the plant. 5\. Draw a labelled diagram of the leaf showing which parts are exposed to light and which part is not. 6\. Leave the plant in bright light for four hours. 7\. Pick the leaf wrapped with aluminium foil from the plant. 8\. Remove the aluminium foil from the leaf. 9\. Carry out an iodine test on the leaf again. 1\. What is the purpose of using a destarched plant in Step 1? a\) To ensure the plant is healthy b\) To start with a plant that has no starch in its leaves c\) To make the experiment easier d\) To increase photosynthesis rate 2\. Why is the initial iodine test performed in Step 2? a\) To check the plant\'s health b\) To establish a baseline for starch presence c\) To stain the leaves d\) To activate photosynthesis 3\. What is the significance of wrapping part of a leaf with aluminium foil in Step 4? a\) To keep the leaf warm b\) To create a decorative effect c\) To establish a control setup d\) To increase light reflection 4\. Why is drawing a labelled diagram important in Step 5? a\) For artistic purposes b\) To practice drawing skills c\) To clearly document the experimental setup d\) To measure the leaf size 5\. What is the purpose of leaving the plant in bright light for four hours in Step 6? a\) To dry the leaf b\) To allow time for photosynthesis to occur c\) To warm up the plant d\) To activate the iodine solution 6\. Why is the aluminium foil removed in Step 8? a\) To recycle the foil b\) To prepare the leaf for the final test c\) To expose the leaf to light d\) To measure the leaf\'s growth 7\. What is the purpose of the final iodine test in Step 9? a\) To compare starch presence in different parts of the leaf b\) To clean the leaf c\) To prepare the leaf for storage d\) To change the leaf\'s color 8\. Why is it important to use a destarched plant from the beginning? a\) To save time b\) To ensure any starch detected is from the experiment c\) To make the plant grow faster d\) To improve the taste of the leaves 9\. What does the control setup (wrapped part of the leaf) help to demonstrate? a\) The effect of temperature on photosynthesis b\) The effect of water on photosynthesis c\) The effect of light on photosynthesis d\) The effect of carbon dioxide on photosynthesis 10\. Why is the experiment conducted over a four-hour period? a\) To fit within a school day b\) To allow sufficient time for starch production c\) To conserve energy d\) To simulate natural day length 11\. What is the significance of using the same leaf for both exposed and unexposed parts? a\) To save plants b\) To ensure all variables except light exposure are constant c\) To make the experiment faster d\) To improve the aesthetics of the experiment 12\. Why is bright light specified in Step 6? a\) To make the plant grow faster b\) To ensure optimal conditions for photosynthesis c\) To heat the leaf d\) To activate the chlorophyll 13\. What is the purpose of drawing the labelled diagram in Step 5? a\) To practice scientific illustration b\) To record the exact areas of light exposure and non-exposure c\) To measure the leaf\'s surface area d\) To identify the plant species 14\. Why is it important to remove the aluminium foil carefully in Step 8? a\) To reuse the foil b\) To avoid damaging the leaf tissue c\) To prevent light exposure d\) To measure the leaf\'s thickness 15\. What does the final iodine test in Step 9 aim to reveal? a\) The leaf\'s age b\) The presence or absence of starch in different parts of the leaf c\) The amount of chlorophyll in the leaf d\) The leaf\'s water content 16\. After completing Step 9, what would you expect to observe in the part of the leaf that was exposed to light? a\) No change in color b\) A blue-black color indicating the presence of starch c\) A yellow color d\) A transparent appearance 17\. What result would you anticipate for the part of the leaf that was covered with aluminum foil in Step 4? a\) A blue-black color b\) No change in color when tested with iodine c\) A darker green color d\) Wilting of the leaf tissue 18\. How would the results of the iodine test in Step 3 likely compare to those in Step 9? a\) They would be identical b\) Step 3 would show no starch, while Step 9 would show starch in some areas c\) Step 3 would show more starch than Step 9 d\) Both steps would show uniform starch distribution 19\. What conclusion can be drawn if the exposed part of the leaf turns blue-black with iodine in Step 9? a\) Light is not necessary for photosynthesis b\) Light is necessary for photosynthesis c\) The plant doesn\'t need carbon dioxide d\) Photosynthesis occurs only at night 20\. If the experiment is successful, how would you expect the results to support the aim stated at the beginning? a\) By showing that all parts of the leaf produce starch equally b\) By demonstrating that light is not important for photosynthesis c\) By showing starch production only in the light-exposed areas d\) By proving that aluminum foil enhances photosynthesis 21\. What would be the expected result if the experiment was conducted in complete darkness instead of bright light in Step 6? a\) More starch production b\) No starch production in any part of the leaf c\) Starch production only in the aluminum-wrapped part d\) Faster photosynthesis rate 22\. How might the results differ if the experiment was conducted over 8 hours instead of 4 hours in Step 6? a\) No difference in results b\) Possibly more pronounced starch presence in light-exposed areas c\) Complete absence of starch in all areas d\) Reversal of expected results 23\. What would be a reasonable conclusion if both covered and uncovered parts of the leaf show the same result in Step 9? a\) The experiment was successful b\) Light has no effect on photosynthesis c\) The experiment may need to be repeated due to potential errors d\) Photosynthesis occurs independently of light 24\. If the experiment is repeated with a red light instead of bright white light in Step 6, how might the results change? a\) No change in results b\) More starch production c\) Less starch production d\) Starch production in covered areas only 25\. What additional conclusion about chlorophyll can be drawn if the experiment shows positive results? a\) Chlorophyll is not necessary for photosynthesis b\) Chlorophyll functions independently of light c\) Chlorophyll is likely involved in light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis d\) Chlorophyll is only active in darkness
