Evolution of Oxygen during Photosynthesis
In the non-cyclic stage of photosynthesis in the light phage, O2 evolved from splitted water. If O2 was not relesed in the atmospher in the photosynthesis process, then there would be a great scarcity of…
Topics: Photosynthesis
Experiment: Photosynthesis cannot occur without CO2
Requirements: A potted plant, a wide-mouthed glass-bottle, a split cork, caustic potash (KOH) solution Alcohol, Iodine solution, and Vaseline. Procedure: The potted plant should be kept. 48 hours in darkness so that the leaves do…
Experiment: Light is essential for Photosynthesis
Requirements: A potted plant with green leaves, Black paper, Alcohol, Iodine solution, and clips, (the plant should keep in dark for a long time before experiment). Procedure: Cover both side of a leaf with black…
Experiment: Photosynthesis do not occur without Chlorophyll
Requirements: A Variegated leaf of an Ornamental plant, Alcohol, Iodine solution, and a Beaker. Procedure: A variegated leaf of the ornamental plant should be collected at noon and its green portion is marked, then it…
Experiment to Demonstrate: Oxygen is Evolved during Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is the procedure plants apply to adopt energy from the sun, carbon dioxide, and water into food. During this procedure, green plants use energy from solar radiation, Carbon Dioxide from the environment, water and…
Importance of Photosynthesis
The importance of photosynthesis is unlimited. A short description is given regarding this: Manufacture of plant food: To live food is essential. Green plants manufacture food by the process of photosynthesis. If the green plant…
External Factors Affecting Photosynthesis
Factors involved in photosynthesis are of two types – External and Internal factors. Sunlight: Sunlight is essential for photosynthesis. The high-energy compound – ATP and NADPH2 are formed utilising the Sunlight which help carbon reduction…
Organ of Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis occurs in green parts in leaves. Various types of tissues are present in the leaf, such as upper epidermis, lower epidermis, vascular tissues and mesophyll tissue. Mesophyll tissue again are of two types-compactly, arranged…
Process of Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is a complex and lengthy process. In 1905 A.D. Blackman divides the process into two phases namely: I. Light Phase and 2. Dark Phase. Both the phases are described here: (a) Light Phage: Light…
What is Photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is a biochemical process. In this process green parts (specially leaves) of plants manufacture carbohydrate food by CO2 and water with the help of energy obtained from sunlight. Here light energy is converted to…
