will a leaf taken from a potted plant kept in a dark room for a few days turn blue black when tested for starch

Answer»
  • No, a leaf plucked from a potted plant kept in a dark room for a few days, will not turn blue-black when tested for starch.
  • This is because, since it was kept in a dark room where there was no sunlight, the plant was unable to prepare the food by photosynthesis. 
  • And starch is the product of photosynthesis. 
  • So if there was a place of photosynthesis, there was no formation of starch.

Hence, the leaf would not turn blue-black as there is the absence of starch.
