    The document outlines an experiment to test whether light is necessary for photosynthesis. It describes how leaves from a plant were placed in three conditions: A) under sunlight, B) in the dark, and C) under sunlight. Only the leaves under sunlight (A and C) tested positive for starch, showing that photosynthesis occurred. The conclusion is that light is necessary for photosynthesis, since it did not occur for the leaves in the dark (B). The hypothesis that light is needed for photosynthesis was supported.

    LIGHT IS NECESSARY FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS

    Photosynthesis is a process of making food which occurs is green plants .Green plants require water ,carbon dioxide ,chlorophyll and sunlight to carry out the process of photosynthesis

    Water+carbon dioxide,chlorophyll+glucose +oxygen

    AIM : To show that light is necessary for photosynthesis PROBLEM STATEMENT : Is light necessary for photosynthesis HYPOTHESIS : Light is necessary for photosynthesis VARIABLE : (A) that is kept constant : type of leaves

    (B) that is manipulated : presence of sunlight (C) that responds : presence of starch in the leaves MATERIALS : Black paper, paperclips, green plants APARATUS : Apparatus to test the presence of starch in leaf y Plan and conduct an experiment to investigate the need of sunlight in photosynthesis as shown in the diagram below .Carry out the starch test on the leaves at the end of the experiment y Get approval from your teacher regarding the procedure of the experiment before you start the experiment

    Part of leaf A (Under sunlight) B (in the dark) C (under sunlight)

    Observation Dark blue formed

    Presence of starch no

    No changes

    no

    Dark blue formed RESULTS :

    Yes

    ANALYSIS : 1 . which section of the leaf cant the photosynthesis be carried out? Give your inference =Setion B non exposed to sunlight 2 . state the change in energy that occurs during photosynthesis. =Light energy to Chemical energy

    CONCLUSION: 1. Is the hypothesis formed acceptable? 2.what conclusion can be made? =Light is needed for photosynthesis

    Yes

    APPLICATION OF IDEA : Plants cannot out photosynthesis at night because there is no sunlight REFLECTION : The occurrence of haze in the air reduces the intensity of sunlight absorbed by green plants for photosynthesis
