Principle
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.

Tasks
The nutritional reserve substance, starch, which plants
contain is made distinctly visible by changing the illumination and
by means of staining.
