    Testing a Leaf for Starch


    Number the sentences in the correct order to show how to test a leaf for starch.

    Remove the leaf from the water and place in a boiling tube containing ethanol.

    Wash the leaf, place on a white tile and add a drop of iodine.

    Boil a beaker of water and leave the leaf in the boiling water for about 2 minutes.

    Place the boiling tube in a beaker of hot water and leave until the ethanol has turned green
    meaning that the chlorophyll has been removed.

    If starch is present the iodine turns black.
