Elodea Lab Report

Elodea is an anaerobic plant frequently utilized to understand and manage photosynthesis. Deciding to test the carbon dioxide different levels by setting two beakers containing the Elodea that should weigh roughly weigh between 1.5-2g and one beaker under the light. In the process we put the beakers in the appropriate spots for an hour, drops of phenolphthalein and of 0.02 mL of NaOH were included into every beaker then record the changes in carbon dioxide reproduction. It was presumed that the beaker with Elodea in 20 salt drops, would take more noteworthy measures by which decrease the carbon dioxide than the beaker with Elodea that had no salt. The Elodea that had 20 salt drops display no difference. The experiment gives us a better comprehension in regard to which circumstances does a plant undergo in the real world if it’s in high salt concentration.

Introduction

Plant development is done through two key procedures known as photosynthesis and respiration. During the process of

Once the time’ is set, the breakers are put into their corresponding places for an hour. The purpose of giving the Elodea an hour is to allow the plant to begin photosynthesis. Once an hour has passed, both beakers were removed from their positions and the Elodea were returned to the tank. At this point of the experiment, three drops of phenolphthalein were added into each of the three beakers. Phenolphthalein help determine measurement of the carbon dioxide reproduction in order for it do photosynthesis and 0.02mL of NaOH drops are included into "Elodea with 20 salt drops" until the solution turns into a shade of dark pink; recording the drop to better understand the carbon dioxide production levels of photosynthesis and respiration done by the Elodea (Walsh and Wostl
