Elodea respires in both the light and the dark. However, the rate of repiration exceeds the rate of photosynthesis when the plants are kept in the dark.
What else can I help you with?
Does elodea conduct photosynthesis in light and dark?
Elodea can conduct photosynthesis in the light, utilizing light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. In the dark, elodea will not photosynthesize, but will perform cellular respiration, breaking down stored sugars to produce energy.
Why is Elodea placed in both flasks?
Elodea is placed in both flasks to show how aquatic plants release oxygen during photosynthesis. By comparing the presence of bubbles in the light and absence of bubbles in the dark, one can observe the effect of light on the process of photosynthesis in Elodea.
When do plants do photosynthesis and respiration?
In general, green plants photosynthesize during the day or when light is on the leaves, and respire at night, or in the dark. As its name implies, photosynthesis is a light dependent process.
What molecule was produced by the elodea while it was exposed to light?
Oxygen was produced by the elodea during photosynthesis while it was exposed to light.
What energy source is used by elodea?
Light
What would your hypothesis be regarding how the pH color of the water will change as you expose Elodea to light What about in the dark?
When the elodea is in the light it will do photosynthesis, and a product of this is CO2 . Some of the CO2 reacts with the water to become carbonic acid. This causes the water to be more acidic. When the plant is in the dark it respirates to get energy from the sugars it has produced. A product of this is O2 gas, which makes water more neutral. Depending on the pH test used the color will be different.
What is going to happen to the pH when elodea is exposed to light?
The pH of the water will increase when elodea is exposed to light. This is because during photosynthesis, elodea will take in carbon dioxide, which will result in a decrease in carbonic acid concentration, leading to an increase in pH.
What product is made by plants during the dark reactions?
Plants respire durning a dark cycle. They release carbon dioxide.
Why was elodea placed in the flasks?
Elodea was placed in the flasks to study its role in photosynthesis and oxygen production. As an aquatic plant, Elodea can absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen when exposed to light, making it an ideal specimen for experiments on these processes. Additionally, using Elodea allows researchers to observe the effects of varying light conditions or water quality on plant growth and respiration.
What will happen to the elodea sprigs if it is kept in the dark for 3 weeks?
If elodea sprigs are kept in the dark for three weeks, they will likely experience reduced photosynthesis due to the lack of light. As a result, the plants may become weak, lose their vibrant green color, and eventually die if the dark conditions persist, as they won't be able to produce the energy needed for growth and survival. Additionally, the sprigs may begin to deplete their stored energy reserves, leading to further deterioration.
What adaptations do plants need to live in dark?
Plants need to respire and be gay with yo mama
Does elodea breath in oxygen?
Elodea, like other aquatic plants, undergoes photosynthesis, which produces oxygen as a byproduct. During the day, it takes in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen into the water. However, like all living organisms, Elodea also respire, consuming oxygen during the process of cellular respiration, especially at night when photosynthesis does not occur. So, while it produces oxygen during the day, it also "breathes" in oxygen for its metabolic processes.
