B. Water and light; carbondioxide and sugar; water and oxygen.

C. Light and Cholorophyll; carbondioxide and sugar; water and oxygen.

D. Carbondioxide and water; light and chlorophyll; oxygen and sugars.

9. Which one of the following statements is not correct about photosynthesis?

A. Water is required. B. Oxygen is a by-product. C. Sugar is a product. D. Energy is released.

Describe an experiment to show that oxygen is produced during photosynthesis.

Describe an experiment to show that carbon dioxide is necessary for photosynthesis.

Explain how a dicotyledonous leaf is adapted for the process of photosynthesis.

(a) What is photosynthesis?

(b) List the conditions necessary for photosynthesis.

(c) Describe an experiment to show that any one of the named conditions is necessary for photosynthesis.

To investigate the effect of carbon dioxide on photosynthesis, a green plant was destarched by leaving it in
darkness for 24 hours. After destarching, leaf A was put in a conical flask as shown in figure 2 while leaf B
was immediately tested for starch. The set up was then left in light for 12 hours after which leaves A and C
were tested for starch.

(a) Why was sodium hydroxide used in the experiment?

(b) State two reasons why when one plant was placed in darkness for 24 hours it became destrached.

(c) State the purpose of including each of leaves B and C in the experiment.

(i) Leaf B

(ii) Leaf C

(e) Give reasons why each of the following is carried out while testing a leaf for starch.
(i) Put a leaf in boiling water.

(ii) Put a leaf in hot ethanol
