Plasmolysis and Deplasmolysis
✓
Answer
| Plasmolysis | Deplasmolysis |
| It is the shrinkage of protoplasm of a cell, when it is kept in hypertonic solution. | When the plasmolysed cell is kept in normal water, protoplasm returns to its original position, it is called deplasmolysis. |
| It is a result of movement of water out of the cell. | It is the result of entry of water into a plasmolysed cell. |
| It occurs when cells are placed in hypertonic solution. | It occurs when cells are placed in hypotonic solution. |

Draw a well-labelled diagram to show the anaphase stage of mitosis in plant cells having four chromosomes.
A candidate studied the importance of certain factors in photosynthesis. He took a potted plant and kept in the dark for over 24 hours. In the early hours of the next morning, he covered one of the leaves with black paper in the centre only. Then he placed the plant in sunlight for a few hours and tested the leaf which was covered with black paper for starch.
Describe step by step, how the candidate proceeded to test the leaf for the presence of starch?

A well-watered healthy potted plant with variegated leaves was kept in darkness for about 24 hours. It was then set up as shown in the diagram and exposed to light for about 12 hours. At the end of this time, leaf X and leaf Y were tested for starch. Study the diagram and answer the questions that follow:
(i) Why was the plant initially kept in darkness for 24 hours?
(ii) What is the function of the sodium hydroxide solution in the flask?
(iii) Select the correct leaf from the five available choices shown in the diagram as A, B, C, D, and E. Rewrite the correct answer for the filling in the appropriate letter from the questions that follow:
1. After the starch test, leaf X would look like.
2. After the starch test, leaf Y would look like.
