Part A
Part B
Green
1.
This is the method used
Put the leaf in boiling water for 1 minute.
Reason: stops all chemical reactions in the leaf.
2. Transfer the leaf to boiling ethanol for 5 minutes.
Reason: removes the green colour
Dip the leaf in hot water.
Reason: softens the leaf.
Spread the leaf on a white tile and test with iodine solution
Reason: stains any starch
(C) of the chemical reactions in the leaf were not stopped, the amount of starch in the
leaf would decrease
3.
4
Give the reason why

The empty trna moves off and picks up another matching amino acid from the cytoplasm in the cell. the anticodon of the trna, with its attached amino acid, pairs to the codon of the mrna, which is attached to a ribosome. this sequence is repeated until the ribosome reaches a stop codon on the mrna, which signals the end of protein synthesis. the ribosome forms a peptide bond between the amino acids, and an amino acid chain begins to form. when a second trna with its specific amino acid pairs to the next codon in sequence, the attached amino acid breaks from the first trna and is bonded to the amino acid of the second trna.
