Answer:
Investigating photosynthesis – starch and chlorophyll
During photosynthesis a plant absorbs light energy using the pigment chlorophyll. This allows it to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. This glucose is:
transported to the growing parts of the plant for use in respiration
transformed into cellulose, proteins and oils
turned into starch for storage
Therefore, to test if a plant has been photosynthesising, you can test the leaf to see if starch is present.
