A Black-paper experiment is done to prove that carbon dioxide is necessary to form starch during photosynthesis.

Sunlight is necessary to form starch during photosynthesis. Please explain with the help of an experiment.

The aim of Moll's experiment is to demonstrate that chlorophyll is necessary for the process of photosynthesis in autotrophs.

Arrange the statements with respect to Moll's half-leaf experiment:
