The fluid which has very high osmolarity used in the experiment was Sucrose solution.

This fluid is important because it regulates the natural reaction of the leaves and also prevents interference from outside sources.

It was essential to keep it cool because cold temperature helps inhibit the rate of photosynthesis so it gives protection to degradation of proteins.
