Is starch stored in leaves of some plants?
after the plant photosynthesises, it has some left over glucose that the leaves covert into starch. The starch is then stored in the chlorophyl (the green pigment in the leaves). At night or in the dark, the plant can't photosynthesise so it respires the stored starch instead
What is source of starch?
Starch is produced in green plants and used as stored energy. It is synthesized in the leaves. Some foods that are in the starch category are corn, pasta, grains, and potatoes.
Do leaves have water in them?
Yes they do. Some more than others like succulents or cactus.
What did Hawkeye and the others find on some leaves?
Hawkeye and the others found a map drawn on some leaves with ash.
Do calabash leaves contain starch?
Calabash leaves, like many other leafy greens, do not contain significant amounts of starch. Instead, they are primarily composed of water, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals. While the fruit of the calabash tree may have some carbohydrate content, the leaves are not a notable source of starch.
Why must leaves be exposed to sunlight for some time before testing for starch?
Leaves need to be exposed to sunlight to undergo photosynthesis, which is the process that produces starch as a storage form of sugar. Without sunlight, photosynthesis cannot occur, and starch will not be produced in the leaf cells. Therefore, exposing leaves to sunlight allows them to accumulate starch, making it easier to test for its presence.
Do holly leaves all have the same amount of spikes?
No, holly leaves can have varying numbers of spikes depending on the species and cultivar. Some holly leaves may have more spikes, while others may have fewer.
What is the sources of starches?
Starch is produced in green plants and used as stored energy. It is synthesized in the leaves. Some foods that are in the starch category are corn, pasta, grains, and potatoes.
What do leaves produce that is stored in starch?
In the leaf excess glucose is rapidly converted to starch. During photosynthesis, plants produce glucose and oxygen, reacting with water and carbon dioxide CO2. But during this process , plants often change some of the glucose into starch, for storage.
Do non green leaves have starch present in them?
Yes, non-green leaves that are exposed to light can still contain starch. Starch is produced through photosynthesis, so any leaf that is actively producing energy through photosynthesis can accumulate starch, regardless of its color.
What did hawkeye and others find on some leaves?
Blood
Why do some trees lose their leaves earlier than others?
Because some leaves were formed over time.
