CHLOROPLAST
 A chloroplast micrograph is provided.
1) Label the visible parts
2) Calculate the actual size of this chloroplast.
3) Discuss three ways in which the chloroplast is
structurally adapted to its function of
photosynthesis.

 Making use of the following materials,
Destarched potted plant; 2 flasks that can enclose a leaf; iodine solution;
solution of Sodium hydroxide (chemical that can remove carbon dioxide);
Sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (chemical that can provide carbon
dioxide
Design a simple test to show carbon dioxide is necessary for
photosynthesis.
Outline your method in the simplest way, using numbered points.
