Take two healthy potted plants. Keep them in a dark room for 2-3 days. Now place each plant in a separate glass. Get a cup containing potassium hydroxide by the side of the plants (the potassium hydroxide is used to absorb carbon dioxide). COver both plants with separate jars. Seal the jars so that the set-up-is-air-tight. Keep the plants in sunlight for two hours. Gently pluck a leaf from each plant. remove the chlorophyll from the leaves by boiling them in alcohol. Wash the leaves with water and then pour iodine solution over them.

We can conclude that the photosynthesis cannot be carried out without carbon dioxide. the leaf from the plant (which was the jar containing potassium hydroxide, which absorbed the carbon dioxide) turns blue black on iodine solution showing that starch is presented in this lead.

so this shows that carbon dioxide is necessary for the processs of photosynthesis to take place

Plants absorb light energy and store that energy in the form of what
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Through photosynthesis, the plant uses the stored energy to convert carbon dioxide (absorbed from the air) and water into glucose, a type of sugar.

A sunflower is an angiosperm, and a gingko is a gymnosperm. Which best describes the life cycles of sunflowers and gingkoes? I.
dalvyx [7]

The correct statements are I, III and IV.

An angiosperm refers to a plant, which exhibits flowers and generates seeds enveloped within a carpel. The angiosperms include a large group of herbaceous plants, grasses, shrubs, and the majority of trees. While gymnosperms refer to the plants that exhibit seeds but not safeguarded by any kind of fruit or ovary. It includes the cycads, gingko, and conifers.

Both the angiosperm (sunflower) and gymnosperm (gingko) are seed-bearing plants. However, the seeds of a sunflower are safeguarded by a flower or fruit, while for the gingko, there is no mechanism like that, i.e, there is not any kind of protection. Additionally, sunflower exhibit phenomenon of double fertilization, which is not witnessed in the case of gingko.
