| biology help please?!?!?!?
can anyone please tell me that if you decide to cover part of a leaf with aluminuim foil, to prevent light from reaching the chloroplasts, will the starch in that leaf increase OR decrese??

the starch will decrease because withiout the help of light plants will not be able to form carbohydrates. this is what photosynthesis is all about-photo-light, sunthesis- formation of starch by breaking dowm the carbohydrates in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll qwith the help of c02 and h2o. in a way you are destarching the leaf.
