Starch as a nutritional reserve substance in plants
Article No: P1442601
The most significant process on earth takes place inside the chloroplasts of the cell, i.e. photosynthesis. Energy-rich glucose (dextrose) and oxygen are synthesized from the energy-poor substances carbon dioxide and water. The energy comes from the sun. The plant converts glucose into starch for storage. Benefits Experiment is part of a complete solution set with a total of 50 experiments for all microscopy applications With student worksheet, appropriate for all class levels With detailed instructor information, incl. sample microscopy image Optimized for tight schedules, i.e. minimum preparation time required Microscopy solution set specifically designed to include all required accessories Content available with matching multimedia files Tasks The nutritional reserve substance, starch, which plants contain is made distinctly visible by changing the illumination and by means of staining.
