### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Observation of Leaves**: Start by observing the leaves of the same plant located on the shady side and compare them with the leaves on the sunny side. Alternatively, compare potted plants kept in sunlight with those kept in the shade. 2. **Comparison of Color**: Note the color of the leaves. The leaves on the shady side or the shaded plants will appear darker green compared to the leaves on the sunny side or the plants in sunlight. 3. **Understanding Chlorophyll Production**: The darker green color of the leaves in the shade is primarily due to a higher concentration of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the pigment responsible for capturing light energy for photosynthesis. ...

A candidate in order to study the importance of certain factors in photosynthesis took a potted plant and kept it in the dark for over 24 hours. Then in the early hours of the morning she covered one of the leaves with black paper in the centre only. She placed the potted plant in the sunlight for a few hours, and then tested the leaf which was covered with black paper for starch. Is there any control in this experiment ? If so state the same.
