**Title: Exploring Starch Patterns in Variegated Coleus Leaves****Introduction:**This educational module investigates the starch distribution in variegated (multicolored) Coleus leaves and what these patterns reveal about the relationship between photosynthesis and starch synthesis in these leaves.**Key Question:**What does the starch pattern in the variegated (multicolored) Coleus leaves suggest about the relationship between photosynthesis and the location of starch synthesis in these types of leaves?**Discussion:**In this section, we explore how different colors in Coleus leaves indicate varying levels of chlorophyll presence. This affects photosynthesis, which in turn influences where starch is synthesized and accumulated. Understanding these patterns helps elucidate the connection between photosynthetically active regions and starch storage.**Further Investigation:**Students are encouraged to observe real Coleus leaves, identifying and recording the distribution of colors and corresponding starch presence, to draw conclusions about the efficiency and role of photosynthesis in these regions.**Conclusion:**Through studying the starch pattern in Coleus leaves, we gain insights into the complex interactions between plant physiology and biochemistry, particularly focusing on photosynthetic activity and energy storage mechanisms.

Variegated leaves are multicolored leaves. Coleus leaves have a wide range of colors. Parts of…

To understand photosynthesis, it is important to first understand the larger picture of what molecules the cell uses and generates and how the different molecules cycle between different reactions. The diagram shows a broad overview of the two stages of photosynthesis. Select the label that best corresponds to the lettered blanks in the diagram below. The parentheses represent the choices for each label on the graph. A. (ADP, ATP, O2, Co2) B. (NADPH, Sugars, NADP+, Sunlight) C. (H2O, Sugars, O2, Co2) D. (Sugars, Co2, O2)
