PHOTOSYNTHESIS PRATICAL

Cards (3)

  • method
    a light source is placed at a specific distance from pondweed
    pondweed is given time to photosynthesise
    the oxygen released is collected in the tube
    the syringe can be used to draw the gas bubble up and length of bubble is proportional to volume of oxygen produced
    repeat with light from different distances from the pondweed
  • control variables of photosynthesis pratical
    • Temperature and time left to photosynthesise
  • How could you alter this pratical to investigate the effect of carbon dioxide on photosynthesis?

    Add different concentrations of sodium bicarbonate to increase CO₂ levels
