SECTION C
1. A student did an experiment with two potted plants, each of which had been enclosed in a transparent
polythene bag for a period of two days. During this time, the plants were exposed to bright light.
In one of the polythene bags there was a chemical which absorbs carbon dioxide.
Both plants had part of their leaves covered with black paper, as shown in the diagram below.
Plant A Plant B
One Leaf was removed from each plant. And labelled drawings of the two leaves were made as
shown below.
Leaf from plant A Leaf from plant B

with chemical that without chemical that
absorbs carbon absorbs carbon
dioxide dioxide
Both Leaves were then tested for starch.
 The black paper was removed from each leaf.

 The leaves were placed in hot water for two minutes,
 The leaves were removed from the hot water, and placed in a test-tube of hot alcohol for five
minutes.
 The leaves were spread out on a white tile, and covered with iodine solution.
(a) Make a copy of the diagram of the two leaves. Label the different areas of each leaf to show the
colours that you would expect to see after each leaf had been treated with iodine solution.

(b) In the starch test, explain the reasons for
(i) Placing the leaf in the hot water at the beginning,
……………………………………………………………………………………….. [1]
(ii) Placing the leaf in hot alcohol

photosynthesis.
