Question

The experiment given below is performed to show that:

  1. Sunlight is not needed for the plant
  2. Water is not needed for the plant
  3. Sunlight is needed for the plant
  4. Water is needed for the plant

hintHint:

Only the areas that have been exposed to light will photosynthesize and therefore test positive for starch, showing that light is necessary for photosynthesis.

The correct answer is: Sunlight is needed for the plant


    • Take a plant with a detached leaf. The leaf is partially covered with black paper on which a design is cut. Expose this plant to sunlight for a few hours and perform a starch test with an iodine solution.
    • Only the areas that have been exposed to light will photosynthesize and therefore test positive for starch, showing that light is necessary for photosynthesis.
