When asked to set up an experiment to show that 'light is necessary for photosynthesis', a student ran to the school garden and set up the experiment by using a plant growing in the school garden.The experiment failed.His classmates made the following suggestions to get success in the experiment:Student A : Safranin should be used instead of iodineStudent B : The leaf should not be boiled in alcohol to remove chlorophyll before testing for starchStudent C : Transparent paper should be used instead of black paper stripStudent D : The leaf should be destarched before starting the experiment. The correct suggestion is given by:
student A
student B
student C
student D
An absolute requirement in the process of photosynthesis is
