Principle

The formation of starch in the plant, the assimilation of carbon dioxide, can only take place when the plant is exposed to light. This process is therefore also called photosynthesis (Grek: phos "light", synthesis "composition"). In this experiment the students are supposed to realize that photosynthesis can only occur with the help of the green leaf pigment, which converts the light of the sun into energy.

• With detailed instructor information.

• Optimized for tight schedules, i.e. minimum preparation time required.

• Biology solution set specifically designed to include all required accessories.

Tasks

Determine whether light is the only prerequisite for photosynthesis.
