Question

What causes the meniscus to move down the capillary tubing?

Answer 1

$\huge\red{Answer}$

The meniscus should gradually move down the capillary tube as the elodea produces oxygen as a by-product of photosynthesis. As the oxygen is produced it increases the pressure in the syringe and so the meniscus is pushed down the tube.
