2. Figure 2 shows two containers P and Q with the same amount of water in them.
(a) The two containers, P and Q, containing
equal amounts of water were left outside
the laboratory for about two hours. The
amount of water in each container was
then measured. It was found that the
amount of water was less than the initial
amount and the two containers do not
have the same amount of water.

6. A student sets up the apparatus shown in Figure 6 to study the process of photosynthesis.
The plants in the bell-jars, P and Q are first destarched by keeping them in the dark for
two or three days. The student then leaves P and Q in the sun for 2-3 hours. He then tests
the leaves from both the bell-jars for starch.
