    Design An Experiment To Determine The Effect of Carbon Dioxide Concentration On The Rate of Photosynthesis

    Uploaded by

    This experiment aims to determine the effect of carbon dioxide concentration on the rate of photosynthesis. The manipulated variable is the concentration of carbon dioxide, while the responding variable is the rate of photosynthesis measured by the number of bubbles released per minute. An aquatic plant is placed in solutions with different concentrations of sodium bicarbonate, and the number of bubbles released over 20 minutes is counted and recorded. It is hypothesized that the rate of photosynthesis will increase with higher carbon dioxide concentration until it reaches a constant rate.

    Design an experiment to determine the effect of carbon dioxide

    concentration on the rate of photosynthesis.

    Answer

    Aim/objective:
    To determine the effect of carbon dioxide concentration on the rate of
    photosynthesis.

    Problem statement :
    What is the effect of carbon dioxide concentration on the rate of
    photosynthesis?

    Hypothesis
    When the concentration of carbon dioxide increases, the rate of
    photosynthesis also increases until the rate becomes constant.

    Variables
    Manipulated : Concentration of carbon dioxide
    Responding : The rate of photosynthesis// The number ofbubble released
    per minute
    Constant : Light intensity, temperature/ Size of plant

    Apparatus and materials :


    Materials : Elodea/Hydrilla , different concentration of sodium bicarbonate,
    distilled water
    Apparatus : Beaker, boiling tube, clip, table lamp, filter funnel

    Technique :
    Count and record the number of bubbles produced / released in 20 minutes
    using a stopwatch .

    Procedure :
    1.Diagram of experimental setup with at least 5 functional labels. 
    2.Fill a boiling tube with 150 ml of 1% sodium hydrogen carbonate solution.
    3.Fix a paper clip / plasticine to a sprig of aquatic / Hydrilla sp. plant.
    4.Submerge / put the aquatic plant into the boiling tube containing 1%
    sodium hydrogen carbonate solution.
    5.Put the boiling tube into a water bath at room temperature (20-30 oC).
    6.Place the boiling tube at distance of 50 cm from a lighted bulb.
    7.Put aside the boiling tube for 5 minute (for the aquatic plant to adjust).
    8.Start the stopwatch.
    9.Count the number of bubbles release in 20 minutes.
    10.Record the result is a table.
    11.Repeat steps 2 until 10 using 2%, 3% and 4% of sodiumhydrogen
    carbonate solutions.
    12.Calculate the rate of photosynthesis.
    (Rate of photosynthesis = Number of bubbles/time)
    13.Precaution : Count the bubbles only after the rate becomesconstant.

    Data
    Include the following titles with units:
    -Concentration of sodium hydrogen carbonates solution (%)
    -Number of bubbles released in 20 minutes
    -Rate of photosynthesis (number / minute)

    Conclusion:
    When the concentration of carbon dioxide increases, the rate of
    photosynthesis also increases until the rate becomes constant. Hypothesis
    is accepted.
