		Testing leaves for starch is an experiment that is usually performed in school science laboratories, by pupils grade 7-9.
		Variations include testing leaves destarched by lack of light, lack of carbon dioxide, or lack of chlorophyll (by using a variegated leaf).
		Both starch and sucrose can be turned back into glucose and used in respiration.

	starch
		In biochemistry, starch is a polymeric carbohydrate (a polysaccharide), in which the monomers are glucose units joined to one another usually head-to-tail.
		Starch is often found in the fruit, seeds, or tuberss of plants.
		Clothing starch or laundry starch is a liquid that is prepared by mixing a vegetable starch in water (earlier preparations also had to be boiled), and is used in the laundering of clothes.

	Appraising And Testing Paper
		The purpose of microscopical tests is to determine the kind and character of the fibers, and the proportion of each kind, also to assist in determining the nature of mineral filler and of impurities.
		Chemical tests are for the determination of (1) the percentage of mineral filler; (2) the percentage and nature of sizing materials; (3) qualitative test for starch, acid, sulphur, chlorine, glue, filler material, dyes, ground wood.
		Tests for sulphur or chlorine are important in determining the chemical purity of the paper, since such residues militate against the permanency of color and strength of paper.

		Whatever is not used for current needs in the plant is transported to the woody tissues and converted to starches for storage in the living cells of the branch, trunk, and root wood.
		Starch levels are highest at the end of the growing season, at the onset of dormancy, and lowest during leaf expansion in the spring.
		A quick field procedure to check starch levels is to simly cut a twig or root cleanly, and apply a few drops of the Lugol's Stain directly to the end of the twig or root.

		The starch comes into test tubes 2 and 3, as the starch molecules are much larger than the glucose molecules and cannot penetrate the gel beads.
		Test tube #4 may indicate a slight presence of both starch and glucose as that fraction may contain the last part of the starch solution, and the initial part of the glucose solution or glucose may be absent showing complete separation.
		Test tube #9 and #10 are negative for both starch and glucose since neither substance is present in the column, and only salt is coming through.

	Re: Why are there more stomata on green parts of variegated leaves?
		Starch test the leaves to show that there is little or no starch in nongreen areas and lots of starch in green areas.
		This may not work on all leaves because some plants do not accumulate starch in their leaves but export photosynthates as sucrose.
		In some nongreen leaves, other pigments such as carotenoids and anthocyanins, simply mask the green chlorophyll.
