3) How do Plants make their own food - Glucose?
Activity 1) Conduct Photosynthesis Experiment |
Questions:
1. Why was the leaf covered by a piece of alumiunium foil? 2. Why was the plant left in the sunlight? 3. What happened when the leave was tested for the presence of starch? 4. Explain why the part of the leaf that was covered with foil did not show the presence of starch? Conclusion: How does this experiment support the idea that sunlight is necessary for photoosynthesis. |
