Importance of photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is the procedure plants apply to adopt energy from the sun, carbon dioxide, and water into food.

What is produced in photosynthesis

During this procedure, green plants use energy from solar radiation, Carbon Dioxide from the environment, water and minerals from obtained from soil to arrange their carbohydrate food and in turn develop oxygen. During the light-dependent effect, oxygen will come from splitting of water when it is in photosynthesis stage.

The aim of the experiment: To prove that oxygen is evolved in green plants during photosynthesis.

Here use Hydrilla plants.

Hydrilla plants are water algal plants. These plants can bring out photosynthesis even they are surrounded by water. Using synthetic compound Nafion, Splitting water will be converted into oxygen and hydrogen.

Requirements: A large Beaker, Some Hydrilla Plant, One Funnel, One Test tube, water,  a glowing splinter of wood and a beehive arrangement.

Procedure: The Hydrilla plant should be kept in the beaker and covered with the funnel.

Hydrilla plant is placed in such a way that it’s cutting ends remain towards the st
