Setup A showed starch formation, confirming successful photosynthesis.

Setup B lacked light, and no starch was formed—light is essential.

Setup C lacked carbon dioxide, and no starch was formed—CO₂ is essential.

All setups had water, but without light or CO₂, photosynthesis did not occur.

Photosynthesis and Light

- Light is essential: Plants need light to perform photosynthesis, the process by which they convert light energy into chemical energy (sugars) to fuel their growth.

- Chlorophyll's Role: Chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants, captures light energy. When a plant is deprived of light, it stops producing chlorophyll, resulting in the pale or yellow appearance.

Etiolation: The Plant's Response to Darkness

- Survival Mechanism: Etiolation is a survival mechanism. The plant elongates its stem rapidly to try and reach a light source.

- Resource Allocation: The plant prioritizes stem growth over leaf development, resulting in a weak, elongated structure. It's essentially using its stored energy reserves in a desperate attempt to find light.

Impact on Plant Health

- Energy Depletion: Without light, the plant can't replenish its energy stores through photosynthesis. It starts consuming its reserves, weakening the plant.

- Long-Term Consequences: If the plant remains covered for an extended period, it will eventually run out of energy and die.

Real-World Examples

- Potatoes in Storage: Potatoes that are not stored in dark conditions will turn green (due to chlorophyll production) and may sprout long, pale shoots (etiolation).

- Sprouts Under Rocks: You might find pale, elongated plant sprouts under rocks or other objects in your garden.

METHOD

1. Preparation

•Choose 3 healthy potted plants of the same species.

•Label them Plant A, Plant B, and Plant C.

•Keep them in a dark place for 12–24 hours to remove stored starch (so results will be clearer)

2. Setting Up the Treatments

- Plant A – With light + CO₂ (experimental):

•Place the plant in bright light (sunlight or lamp).

•Put a small cup with water + baking soda (CO₂ source) inside a transparent plastic bag.

•Cover the plant loosely with the bag.

- Plant B – Without light (light control)

•Place the plant inside a cardboard box to block light.

•Put a cup of plain water inside the bag.

•Cover the plant the same way as Plant A.

- Plant C – With light, no added CO₂ (CO₂ control):

•Place in the same light as Plant A.

•Put a cup of plain water inside a plastic bag.

•Cover the plant loosely.

3. EXPERIMENT

•Leave the plants in their respective setups for 6–24 hours.

•Use a timer to track exposure.

•Take photos or short videos (optional, as proof).

4. Testing the Leaves for Starch

• After exposure, pick one mature leaf from each plant and label them A, B, and C.

• Boil each leaf in water (1–2 min) to soften.

• Transfer leaves into hot alcohol (in a beaker placed in a hot water bath) until leaves become pale/whitish.

•Rinse the leaves briefly in warm water to soften them.

•Spread each leaf on a white dish and cover with iodine solution.

5. Observation

-Record the color change:

•Blue-black = starch present (photosynthesis occurred).

•Yellow-brown = no starch (no photosynthesis).

6. Expected Results

•Plant A (Light + CO₂): Blue-black (starch present).

•Plant B (Dark): Yellow-brown (no starch).

•Plant C (Light only, no added CO₂): May show some blue-black, but weaker than A.

Result/ Date

•PLANT CONDITION

A - light + CO₂ (with baking soda)

B - no light (inside box)

C - light only ( no extra CO₂)

•IODINE TEST RESULT

-leaf turned  blue - black

- leaf remained yellow - brown

- leaf showed pale blue -  black patches

In the experiment, the three plants showed different results after being tested with iodine solution.

• Plant A, which was exposed to light and supplied with extra carbon dioxide from baking soda, turned dark blue-black, indicating the presence of starch. This means that photosynthesis took place actively under these conditions.

•Plant B, which was kept in complete darkness inside a box, did not change color and remained yellow-brown, showing that no starch was produced because light was absent.

•Plant C, which was placed in light but without extra carbon dioxide, turned only partly blue-black with lighter or patchy areas. This suggests that some photosynthesis occurred using the carbon dioxide naturally present in the air, but the starch production was less compared to Plant A.

• Overall, the results demonstrate that light and carbon dioxide are both important raw materials required for photosynthesis, and their absence or limitation reduces or prevents starch formation in leaves.

ANALYSIS

Plant A, which was given light and an additional source of CO₂, showed a strong blue-black color after iodine test. This indicates a high amount of starch was formed, proving that both light and carbon dioxide are necessary for photosynthesis.

Plant B, which was kept in the dark, showed no starch production. This proves that light is essential for photosynthesis.

Plant C, which was exposed to light but no extra CO₂, produced less starch compared to Plant A. This shows that while light was available, the limited amount of CO₂ restricted starch formation.

Gr. 8-C

# data[].attributes.body
CONCLUSION

The experiment verified that photosynthesis requires both light and carbon dioxide as raw materials. The leaf exposed to light with extra CO₂ produced the most starch, while the leaf kept in darkness produced none. This shows that without light or sufficient CO₂, photosynthesis cannot occur effectively, confirming that light, carbon dioxide, and water are essential for plants to make food.

# data[].attributes.body
METHOD

1. Test for Light Requirement

•Take a healthy potted plant and keep it in complete darkness for about 24–48 hours (to remove stored starch in the leaves).

•Cover part of one leaf with black paper/aluminum foil, leaving the other part exposed to sunlight.

•Place the plant under sunlight for a few hours.

•Pluck the covered leaf, boil it in hot water for 1–2 minutes (to soften).

•Transfer it into hot alcohol (in a beaker placed in hot water) to remove chlorophyll (leaf turns pale).

•Rinse the leaf in warm water and spread it on a plate.

•Add iodine solution.

•Observation: The exposed part turns blue-black (starch present), while the covered part does not.

•Conclusion: Light is necessary for photosynthesis.

2. Test for Carbon Dioxide Requirement

•Take two potted plants of the same type and destarch them by keeping in the dark for 24–48 hours.

•Place one plant in a bell jar with a dish containing potassium hydroxide (KOH) or soda lime (which absorbs CO₂).

•Place the other plant in a normal bell jar without KOH.

•Expose both plants to sunlight for several hours.

•Test one leaf from each plant using the iodine test.

•Observation: The leaf from the plant without CO₂ does not turn blue-black, while the normal plant does.

•Conclusion: Carbon dioxide is necessary for photosynthesis.

3. Test for Chlorophyll Requirement

•Use a variegated leaf (a leaf with both green and white/yellow parts).

•Destarch the plant by keeping it in darkness for 24 hours.

•Expose it to sunlight for a few hours.

•Pluck the variegated leaf and perform the iodine test.

•Observation: Only the green areas turn blue-black.

•Conclusion: Chlorophyll is necessary for photosynthesis

ANALYSIS

In the light requirement test, only the part of the leaf exposed to sunlight turned blue-black with iodine. This shows that starch (a product of photosynthesis) was only produced where light was available. The covered part did not photosynthesize.

→ Therefore, light is essential for photosynthesis.

In the carbon dioxide test, the plant given normal air formed starch (leaf turned blue-black), while the plant without CO₂ did not.

→ This proves that carbon dioxide is a raw material required for photosynthesis.

In the chlorophyll test, only the green areas of the variegated leaf tested positive for starch. The non-green parts did not.

→ This shows that chlorophyll is necessary for capturing light energy to carry out photosynthesis

# data[].attributes.body
CONCLUSION

The investigation proved that photosynthesis requires specific raw materials. Only the leaf parts exposed to light, supplied with carbon dioxide, and containing chlorophyll were able to produce starch, as shown by the blue-black color with iodine. Therefore, we conclude that light, carbon dioxide, water, and chlorophyll are essential for photosynthesis. Without any of these materials, photosynthesis cannot occur.

IV. Analysis

- Green Patch (Chlorophyll Present): The area of the leaf that was originally green turned blue-black after adding iodine solution. This indicates the presence of starch, which is produced during photosynthesis.

- Pale Yellow Patch (Lacks Chlorophyll): The area of the leaf that was originally pale yellow remained brown after adding iodine solution. This indicates the absence of starch, suggesting that photosynthesis did not occur in this region due to the lack of chlorophyll.

V. Conclusion

The experiment demonstrates that chlorophyll is necessary for photosynthesis. The green parts of the variegated leaf, which contain chlorophyll, produced starch when exposed to light, as confirmed by the blue-black color change upon the addition of iodine. In contrast, the pale yellow parts, lacking chlorophyll, did not produce starch and remained brown after the iodine test. This confirms that chlorophyll plays a crucial role in the production of starch through photosynthesis.

IV. ANALYSIS

Photosynthesis requires both sunlight and water as raw materials.

Plant 1 showed the best growth because it had the complete requirements.

Plant 2 had sunlight but lacked water, so it could not carry out photosynthesis properly and wilted.

Plant 3 had water but no sunlight, so it could not make food through photosynthesis and became weak.

This proves that both water and sunlight are necessary for photosynthesis and plant

survival.

Plant A show us that photosynthesis requires complete sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. Moreover, it was image that even one element of requirements to photosynthesis is missing, photosynthesis will likely not be successful because Plant B and Plant C was showing us that even just sunlight or carbon dioxide is missing from a plant, the absences of the element has a very big impact of failure to the process of photosynthesis. Bow the question is "How can I be sure that what I'm stating right now is true?" - well, you can try this experimentation 'starch test's. This test verify the plant if the photosynthesis is successful in a presence of starch.

Observation After lodine Test:

THE COVERED AREA DID NOT TURN BLUE-BLACK, INDICATING NO STARCH PRODUCTION

Inference:

PHOTOSYNTHESIS DID NOT OCCUR IN THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT

# data[].attributes.body
ANALYSIS

•In the light experiment,the part of the leaves exposed to light turned blue-black when lodine solution was added.This indicates the presence of starch,witch is produced during photosynthesis. The parts of the leaves covered with foil did not show this color change, indicating that light is essential for photosynthesis.

CONCLUSION/GENERALIZATION

•The experiments confirm that light are essential raw materials for photosynthesis without these, plants cannot produce starch (a form of glovose).

RESULTS:

We saw that the plant that was given water remain the same as it was before while the other was dry but a little bit wilted also looked like it remained the same appearance as the other day.

ANALYSIS:

Our method showed that a plant can dry up when not given water for three days. It also suggests that the plant did not undergo photosynthesis, as it lacked the necessary resources to produce food. As a result, it appeared wilted and weak due to energy loss.

CONCLUSION:

We concluded that water is essential for photosynthesis, as it enables the plant to produce food for energy. Based on our results, the plant that was not given water appeared dry and slightly wilted after three days, indicating a loss of energy due to the lack of food production.
