Ascientist follows this procedure to test whether plants have been performing photosynthesis. place plant x in a dark closet and plant y on a sunny windowsill. wait several days, then remove a leaf from each plant. boil leaves in alcohol to remove the chlorophyll. add a chemical indicator that detects sugars. (dark purple = sugars are present; dark orange = sugars are not present) what results will the scientist most likely obtain when placing drops of the indicator on the leaves? plant x: dark purple plant y: dark purple plant x: dark orange plant y: dark purple plant x: dark orange plant y: dark orange plant x: dark purple plant y: dark orange

  Plant X: dark orange

               Plant Y: dark purple

explanation:

plant X was placed in dark so due to the absence of sunlight it didn't perform photosynthesis and plant Y was placed on a sunny windowsill so it perform photosynthesis.

as we know that during photosynthesis, sunlight energy is used to covert carbon dioxide gas and water into oxygen gas and a sugar called glucose. so, in plant x sugars are not present and in plant Y sugars are present.

that's why result is  Plant X: dark orange

                                Plant Y: dark purple.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this
