Elodea leaf experiment
Step-by-step explanation:
1. What did you observe on the elodea leaves
Gas bubbles are formed on the elodea leaves
2. What substance accumulated in the leaves
Oxygen is accumulated in the leaves
3. How do you know what it is
The end product of photosynthesis reactions are sugar and oxygen. Sugar is a solid and the released gas should be oxygen
4. Should the substance be considered a waste product explain
Oxygen is released during photosynthesis and is considered as a by-product and a waste product of photosynthesis because plants need oxygen for respiration only and not for photosynthesis
5. What reaction is taking place
Photosynthesis light dependent reaction converts the solar energy into chemical energy .
6. Where does the reaction take place in the plant what organelle
Light reaction takes place in the chloroplasts. This occurs in the stacked thyllakoids which contains the chlorophyll pigments which aid in photosynthesis
