Positive Test The disappearance of the KMnO 4 's purple color and the appearance of a brown suspension of MnO 2 is a positive test. Complications.

The epidermis protects the leaf and is transparent to let light through. Palisade mesophyll [palisade cells: the upper layer of mesophyll where photosynthesis mostly takes place] cells are tall and closely packed to absorb maximum light.They contain many chloroplasts.
