experiment to show that carbon di oxide is nessary for photosyntheis help me please............
Answers
Answer:
experiment
Explanation:
aim
to show carbon dioxide is necessary for photosynthesis
materials required
plant
sunlight
glass tumbler
KOH pellets
procedure
take the plant and cover it with a glass tumbler and keep the KOH pellets in the tumbler.
keep it in the sunlight
observation
due to this, the KOH pellets release the carbon dioxide and the plant absorbs the sunlight
Experiment to show carbon dioxide is necessary for photosynthesis:
Required apparatus and chemicals:
Conical flask, Potassium hydroxide,Iodine solution and split cork.
Explanation:
Steps to follow:
- Take the conical flask and add the solution of KOH (Potassium hydroxide). KOH is used here to remove the Carbon dioxide inside the conical flask.
- Now using the hole in the cork insert the leaf into the conical flask and now place the conical flask in sunlight for some hours.
- Now test the leaf which was inside the conical flask and another leaf of the same plant by using iodine solution.
- You will observe that the leaf inside the flask does not change colour to blue-black whereas the other leaf of the plant turns into blue-black.
- So, carbon dioxide is necessary for photosynthesis in plants.
Observation:
- The exposed leaf to the atmosphere is in the colour of bluish black.
- The exposed leaf to KOH does not change the colour.
Result:
- The above observation indicates that starch is present in green part of leaf.
Conclusion:
- The presence of starch shows that chlorophyll is essential for photosynthesis.
