A plant is kept in dark for about forty eight hours before conducting any experiment on photosynthesis in order to
-
Remove chlorophyll from leaves
-
Remove water from leaves
-
Ensure that no leaves are free from the starch
-
Ensure that no photosynthesis occured
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The correct answer is "Remove water from leaves". Keeping the plant in the dark for 48 hours helps to remove excess water from the leaves. This is important because excess water can interfere with the process of measuring photosynthesis accurately. By removing water from the leaves, the experiment can focus specifically on the role of chlorophyll and the production of starch during photosynthesis.
