Craing out experiments for photosynthesis\nwhy must we \n1. boil the leaf to kill it?\n2. remove chlorophyll?

When the leaf is alive, it will take the light by absorbing it with the clorophile. This is esential to continue with the process, for that is the moment when the plant takes its energy for the creation of new compounds.\nBy removing it, you're preventing it from using any more energy from the outside to create organic compounds, thus leaving the leaf useless to do photosyntesis.\nWhen you boil the leaf, you're raising the temperature of it. By doing so, you're breaking up the structure of the clorophile, and destroying it.

b\nbecause photosynthesis is a anabolic process whereby the plant uses simple material to synthesis hexose sugar like glucose

I will split your question in to two parts viz. 1) Photosynthesis and 2) Stomata; so that you can easily understand it.\n 1) PHOTOSYNTHESIS-: for this function entire middle portion of a leaf contributes, it is called MESOPHYLL in botanical language.(Meso = middle or in between; Phyll = refers to leaf). It is located in between the upper and the lower skin or the epidermis of a leaf (Plural epidermes).\n In most of the leaves the MESOPHYLL is again distinguished it to Upper PALISDE tissue and the Lower SPONGY LAYER.\n Both of them are full of chloroplast and do the function of photosynthesis; but there is a difference.\n The palisade cells are located near the upper epidermis,they are elongated,test tube like in appearence and are placed at right angle to the upper epidermis like upright test tubes.( try to see the meaning of palisade in a good dictionary, it is interesting.). These palisade cells are very closely packed with very little space in between and each of them is literally packed with chloroplasts. That is why a leaf appears greener on its upper surface.Thus, they are ideally located to receive maximum sun light and do maximum photosynthesis.\n\nThe Spongy layer , on the other hand , is located near the lower epidermis of a leaf. The cells are spherical or potato shaped and with lots of intercellular spaces between them. Each cell of this layer contains (comparitively) less or far less number of chloroplasts than the palisade of the same leaf.That is why the same leaf appears pale green on its lower surface.\n This Spongy layer does the function of photosynthesis no doubt ; but it is less in quantity than that of Palisade of the same leaf. This is because it is located rather away from the light source and its main function is to help the leaf in gaseous exchange, that is why there are so many intercellular spaces.( here Photosynthesis is over)... \n\n2) STOMATA (singular stoma) -: These breathing pores are neither IN the palisade layer nor IN the spongy layer. They are a PART of the the two epidermes( upper and lower ).\n If one compares the quantity and the distribution of these stomata of one and the same leaf then they are more on the lower epidermis to help the spongy tissue in gaseous exchange during photosynthesis/respiration.\n On the upper epidermis they are far less in number to reduce or prevent exessive water loss due to transpiration.\nIn many desert plants they are either totally absent from the upper epidermis or located in sunken pits for the same reason.\nI hope you got what you sought. Bye.

Cut the root. It will affect the tree; but will not kill the tree. Water it regularly, once in a week.\n Trees have good life force. They don't give up easily.

How about an experiment to see whether talking to a house plant really stimulates its growth. Is it the words or is it the carbon dioxide from his breath?\n\nYou need two sets of plants that are identical. You need one to be exposed (by loudspeaker) to the sound of his words and the other to have him up close and breathing on it while talking.

No the plant could not produce starch without chlorophyll. They synthesize the sugar from water and carbon dioxide in a process called photosynthesis.

Nothing.  Except have a lower water volume due to warmer water molecules converting to gas.  However, the warmer water may have an efffect on the plants you are studying.  If you water a plant with hot water it may kill the plant.

gather some leaves. put them in a metal drum after wetting them. wait until the leaves are decomposed - what remains is a compost fertilizer

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar, which cellular respiration converts into ATP, the "fuel" used by all living things. The conversion of unusable sunlight energy into usable chemical energy, is associated with the actions of the green pigment chlorophyll. Most of the time, the photosynthetic process uses water and releases the oxygen that we absolutely must have to stay alive. Oh yes, we need the food as well!

1. The stoma\n2. rate of photosynthesis doesn't depend on only CO2. Other factors such as sunlight and water must be taken into consideration

My best guess would be that the chloroplast would be marked as \n"non-self" in the cell and would be degraded in the lysosome. It would be might complicated to keep the chloroplast from being degraded.

1. CO2 is required because it is the carbon source for the photosynthesis reaction.  The carbon from CO2 is incorporated into the sugars made as a product of photosynthesis.\n\n2.  Sunlight provides the energy necessary to perform photosynthesis.\n\n3. Water donates the electrons required to reduce the carbon, and other molecules, in the photosynthetic pathway.\n\n4. Chloroplasts perform the entire phtotsynthetic pathway inside of them.  Plants would not be able to perform photosynthesis without chloroplasts.

C for sure.\nMy but didn't this question get some folks hot and bothered. \nMay I point out that yes the plants are using the co2. Meanwhile, we silly homo saps are, while busily pumping hydrocarbons and co2 into the atmosphere, blithely burning down, chopping down and otherwise doing away with rain forests in South America. We are also draining swamps in Florida and filling them in to build houses, hacking down forests in Africa and other countries for the same reason.  All that means less of those nice green plants to absorb all that CO2.\nNow it is possible that we are just in a between glaciation warm spell. But even if we are, there is still the possibility of pushing that warm up over the edge into something we might not be able to survive.

For photosynthesise CO2 and sunlight required.When we breath,we discharge CO2.This CO2 can help plants for photosynthesise.Any way we producing more than million times of CO2 what plants required other than our breathing.Plants tired of this process.If you want relay help plants,reduce wastage and pollution.

I remember a girl in the news who ended up inhaling a piece of the X'nas tree and ended up getting a horrid asthma attack.  For years she lived with it until she was operated on about 10 years later.  After extracting the snall twig the leaf parts still had chlorophyll in it.
