Answer:

B E W I

1. Put leaf in boiling water to destroy the cell membrane and denature enzymes

2. Ethanol in a hot water bath to remove chlorophyll

3. Warm water to soften the leaf

4. Add drops of iodine solution

Is light needed for photosynthesis?

1. Destarch the plant (remove previously made starch from plant)

2. a. cut the leaf in 2

b. 1 part in an opaque box and 1 part in a transparent box (one with light and one without)

3. Test for starch (BEWI)

B. Is carbon dioxide needed for photosynthesis?

1. Destarch the plant (remove previously made starch from plant)

2. a. cut the leaf in 2

b. 1 part in a box with CO2 absorber and 1 part in box with a CO2 provider

3. Test for starch (BEWI)

C. Is chlorophyll needed for photosynthesis?

1. Destarch the plant (remove previously made starch from plant)

2. Use a variegated leaf

3. Test for starch (BEWI)

D. light intensity

independent variable: light intensity

dependent variable: time

5-6 distances

keep the same: temperature

CO2 concentration

species

size and number of leaves

change distance from light source and record time taken for photosynthesis
