Name: _______________________________________________________ Period: ________ A Plant’s Raw Materials Experiment: A plant was placed in an apparatus in which the amount of water, the amount of light, and the amount of carbon dioxide can be changed to see how many oxygen bubbles are produced. Three different experiments were conducted, changing one of these factors (water, light, carbon dioxide) each time. 1. What is the relationship between water, light, and CO2 and photosynthesis? ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. What is the relationship between oxygen and photosynthesis? ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 3. What would a low number of oxygen bubbles indicate about photosynthesis? ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 4. Plot the data on the graph you have been assigned. ALL GRAPHS NEED TO BE DONE AND APPROVED BEFORE MOVING ON TO GROUP CONCLUSION QUESTIONS. Group Conclusion Questions: 1. Fill out the data table below with the range of each factor that will produce the optimal number of oxygen bubbles. Factor Range to produce optimal number of bubbles Water Light CO2 Temperature 2.

These wavelengths have different amounts of energy. A question that if often posed asks which wavelengths of light would make plants grow best. You set up the following experiment: 6 tomato plants of the same variety potted in the same kind of soil. Each plant received the same amount of water and fertilizer for 3 months. Five of the plants received light of only a certain color. One plant received natural daylight. The amount of time each plant was exposed to light was the same. Measurements of the height of each plant at the beginning of the experiment and at the end of 100 days is found below. Plant Height (cm) over 100 days Overall Growth Plant Color of Light Day 0 Day 25 Day 50 Day 75 Day 100 (cm) Plant 1 daylight 10 14 19 22 29 Plant 2 red 11 18 26 31 36 Plant 3 blue 9 16 23 30 38 Plant 4 yellow 12 14 17 19 22 Plant 5 orange 10 13 17 20 24 Plant 6 violet 11 17 23 29 35 1.
