A plant is kept in the dark for 48 hours before an experiment on photosynthesis. This is done to:
-
Activate the enzymes.
-
De-starch the leaves.
-
Increase the rate of respiration.
-
Stop the plant from wilting.
📝 Detailed explanation
De-starching ensures that any starch found in the leaves at the end of the experiment was produced during the experiment itself.
