How does starch's location in leaves prove photosynthesis?

To clarify: We boiled alcohol with a leaf and tested for starch with iodine (present in the veins), We also covered a leaf with tin foil and came back the next day. The leaf was more green in the veins and more discolored farther away from the veins. This lab was suppose to show us glucose is made by the leaf, but all it proves is that starch is in the veins, right?

Why is the color of blood is always red in color?

Blood is always red (NEVER blue) because of hemoglobin, the main factor in blood's color. Deoxygenated hemoglobin is dark red, while oxygen enriched hemoglobin is more cherry red. The common misconception that deoxygenated blood in your veins is blue stems from textbooks that show arteries in red and veins in blue for simplicity. Also, your veins appear blue through your skin because of a variety of reasons only weakly dependent on the color of the blood. Light scattering in the skin, and the visual processing of color play roles as well. If arteries were near the skin surface, they would appear blue as well. Cameras inserted in veins during medical procedures clearly show that blood in veins is red, and when drawing blood from veins in a way that doesn't expose it to the air, it is clearly a dark red color and not blue.

I really think that depends on the person and if you have had a pregnancy in the past. People who are more in tune with their bodies and have had previous pregnancies might know they are pregnant before it will show up on a test.

Every woman is different, but usually you would show earlier than your first. It also depends on how close the pregnancies were. The closer they are together, typically the sooner you would show.
