Title: Photosynthesis
Apparatus and Materials (write up as two separate columns)green leaf, beaker, boiling tube, spatula, forceps, watch glass, iodine solution, alcohol, Bunsen burner, tripod, test tube rack
Method1. Note the colour of the leaf. Boil the leaf for five minutes and then
turn off the Bunsen burner.2. Place the leaf in a boiling tube with alcohol. Place the boiling tube
with the leaf into the beaker and leave this for five minutes.3. Carefully remove the leaf from the boiling tube. Note the texture and
the colour of the leaf and the colour of the alcohol. 4. Swirl the leaf in the hot water and again note its texture.5. Place the leaf on a watch glass and cover with iodine solution. Leave
this for a few minutes and then note the colour change.
ObservationsNote: (i) the initial colour of the leaf (ii) the colour and texture of the leaf after being removed from the alcohol (iii) the texture of the leaf after being rinsed in water (iv) the colour change of the alcohol (v) the colour change of the leaf after being soaked in iodine solution.
DiscussionWhy was the leaf boiled? Why was the leaf soaked in alcohol? Why was the leaf rinsed in hot water? Was starch present in the leaf? Give reasons for your answer. What does the presence of starch tell you about the leaf?
Conclusion Did photosynthesis occur in the leaf?
