    In this video, we look at how to investigate the effect of light intensity of the rate of photosynthesis in a pondweed. This is a required practical so you need to learn the details.

    • @sadafsaleh9864
      @sadafsaleh9864 Před 5 lety +3

      You are supposed to put water with the pondweed. Only in the water you will be able to observe the bubbles and plus Sodium hydrogen carbonate is only used so that Carbon dioxide could be produced which is also a main factor in photosynthesis. If in the practical you didn't use then might* the carbondioxide wasn't produced and your practical didn't go well and if it did go well then i believe that the plant might have some carbondioxide in it already so you didnt have to use the sodium hydrogen carbonate.okay I hope you understood maybe? Huh I am really bad at explaining.

      Yeah as Sadaf says, as you should know Photosynthesis has the equation: Water + Carbon Dioxide -> Glucose + Oxygen. The Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate solution supplies the pondweed with Carbon Dioxide, which allows Photosynthesis to take place more readily and removes Carbon Dioxide levels as a factor that could skew your results.
      Hope I cleared any doubts up.
