Guidelines to lecturers for Question No.3 - Experiments in Botany Practical.

Experiment-I: Osmosis by potato Osmoscope

The whole experiment should be done by the student at the time of practical examination.

Experiment - II: Study of plasmolysis in epidermal peel of leaf.

The whole experiment should be done by the student at the time of practical examination.
Lecturer should give Rheo/Tradescantia leaves or any other leaf and 20% sucrose/ sodium
chloride (NaCl) Solution to students.

Experiment - III: Transpiration by cobalt chloride paper method

Cobalt chloride paper has to be prepared by the lecturers in advance and the same to be given to
the students for performing the actual experiment.

Note: The students need not be prepare cobalt chloride paper.

Experiment- IV: Separation of leaf pigments or 'chloroplast pigments by paper

chromatographic technique.

The leaf extract is to be prepared by the student only at the time of examination to perform the
experiment.

Note: Practical examiners are advised to begin the examination, with Question No. 3 experiments
in order to give sufficient time to the students to get the result.
