Destarching occurs in a plant when a part of a plant is "deprived of starch, as by translocation". It is also the process of eliminating starch reserves in a plant for experiments concerning photosynthesis.

To prove the necessity of sunlight in photosynthesis following steps need to do

  • Take a plant with destarched leaf.
  • Leaf is partially covered with black paper on which a design is cut.
  • Expose this plant to sunlight for few hours and perform a starch test with iodine solution.

Observation-

  • Covered leaf part shows brown colouration.
  • Exposed leaf shows blue-black colour.

Result- Starch is present in the exposed leaf.
Conclusion- Leaf exposed to sunlight give iodine test, proving that sunlight is necessary for photosynthesis.
