Detailed Solution

Concept: To check the presence of the starch in a leaf first we boil the leaf and then add alcohol, this is helpful in removing the chlorophyll.

Put a few drops of iodine. The area of the leaf which has starch turns blue-black. Iodine turns into blue-black in the presence of starch.
