In an experiment to investigate a factor affecting photosynthesis, a leaf of a potted plant which had been kept in the dark overnight was covered with aluminum foil as shown in the diagrams below.
The set up was kept in sunlight for three hours after which a food test was carried out on the leaf.
(a) Which factor was being investigated in the experiment?
(b)Which food test was carried out?
(c) i)Sate the results of the food test.
ii) Account for the results in (c) (i) above.
(d) Why was is necessary to keep the plant in darkness before the experiment?

(a) Necessity of light in photosynthesis
(b) Test for starch /starch test/starch/starch.
(c) i)the covered part of the leaf remains brown/yellow /retains the colour of iodine and the uncovered part turns to blue black.
ii) Starch was formed in the uncovered part (due to exposure to light) but no starch was formed in the covered part /due to lack of light.
(d) To destarch the leaf /prevent it from making starch /ensure o starch is in the leaf
In this thought-provoking response, the author's perspective is skillfully backed by an extensive body of comprehensive research and readily available information, offering a well-informed and compelling exploration of the subject matter.
Identify radiation B and provide an explanation for the differing deviations observed in the paths of radiations A and C as they pass through an electric field, as depicted in figure 15.
Determine the frequency of X-rays produced in an X-ray tube with a 12000V acceleration voltage, assuming full energy conversion, using Planck's constant and the charge of an electron.
Name the components labeled A and B in the X-ray tube, explain how altering the potential across P affects X-ray intensity, and describe the cause of the high temperature in the tube during operation.
