Elodea experiment.

Today in Biology HL we did a another experiment, but smaller than the previous one. In the experiment we took Elodea, an aquatic plant.

What we wanted to proof with the Elodea was that the rate of photosynthesis actually depends on the amount of light that is given to the plant. We put the plant inside of a test tube with water and we were able to see the bubbles of CO2 that came out from the plant. Then, we plugged a lamp and gradually we moved it closer to the test tube. Doing this, we could actually see how the rate of bubbles increased at the same time we moved the lamp nearer to the plant.

I found it really interesting, and it shows you how what you're studying actually works in real life.
