What will you observe when the leaf A is tested for starch?
Solution:
When we test the leaf A for starch we will notice that the half the leaf that was inside the flask turns brown with iodine solution, whereas the part of leaf outside the flask turns blue black because outside the flask CO 2 was available. So it performed photosynthesis and prepared starch, whereas inside the flask, there is no CO 2 , so no photosynthesis, therefore no starch is present in it.
