About this document
Starch Test for Photosynthesis Lab by destiny hales is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes a procedure to test leaves for starch content using iodine solution. Leaves from a plant that had been in light and dark conditions are placed in ethanol and boiled water to extract chemicals. Drops of iodine solution are then placed on the leaves, and a blue-black color indicates the presence of starch, which is produced through photosynthesis when the leaf is in the light.
