Answer:

1. Remove a green leaf from the plant

2. Boil the leaf in boiling <u>water stop enzymatic reaction within cells in leaf</u>

3. Put the boiled leaf in boiling tube containing alcohol <u>extract (ethanol) chlorophyll ethanol dissolves Lipids in cell membranes.</u>

4. Return to leave to the hot water <u>soften the leaf and allows penetration of </u><u> </u><u>i</u><u>odine</u>

5. Remove leaf and perform the iodine test

Explanation:

<em>starch is white powdery substance consisting of glucose which is used by plants as food the percents of starch in leaves evidence enough of the process a photosynthesis being carried out in leaves as the formation of starch necessitates photosynthesis</em>.

Why are metals good conductors of electricity but covalent compounds are poor conductors
Nataly [62]
The electrons in the outermost shell of the covalent compounds are shared by nearby atoms. As there are no free electrons for conducting electricity, the covalent compounds are perfect insulators at absolute zero. As the temperature increases, some electrons move from valence band to conduction band. This gives rise to conductivity. But as the numbers of charge carriers are very low, covalent compounds are poor conductors. On the other hand metals are good conductors cause of their bonding. Metallic bonding consists of a sea of electrons rather than discreet bonds. The free electrons are able to move freely. Since electricity and heat need electrons to move, the bonding promotes conductivity.
