Botany - Photosynthesis in Higher Plants Question with Solution | TestHub

In Moll's half leaf experiment a part of the leaf was inserted in a flask using a split cork. The flask contains KOH which absorbs the${\mathrm{C}\mathrm{O}}_2$present in the flask. Thus the part of leaf inside the flask cannot carry out synthesis of starch, indicating the${\mathrm{C}\mathrm{O}}_2$is necessary for photosynthesis.
