How hould you demonstrate that elodea carries out photosynthesis at a faster rate than it carries out respiration?

Do a pH test. The more CO2 consumed (photosynthesizing) the higher the pH. The more CO2 produced (Respiring) the lower the pH. And if a plant is photosynthesizing and respiring at the same rate, the pH will remain level. During a lab like this, we used bromothymol blue to test the pH levels. It will turn yellow if pH <7, blue if pH >7, and Green as the solution changes from acid to base or base to acid.

Does elodea conduct photosynthesis in light and dark?
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 does elodea use to power its cellular process?
ATP powers the cellular processes of elodea.
What happened when you placed Elodea at the light compensation point?
Since the light compensation point occurs when the oxygen produced by photosynthesis is equal to the oxygen required for cellular respiration, oxygen will have a slope of 0.
When NaHco3 is added to an elodea plant what happens?
Photosynthesis occurs and oxygen bubbles are produced.
Suppose there were singled-celed protozoans in the test tube with Elodea when you the white light experiment. Could you still calculate Elodea's rate of photosynthesis?
Elodea is not sterile and they will have bacteria, algae, and even protozoans on the leaves and stems. However, the bacteria and the protozoans will use the oxygen to dissolve into the water.

Do onions have choroplasts do elodea plants carry out photosynthesis?
Just did this lab in Biology. Onion cells do not have chloroplasts; therefore, they do not possess the green pigment, chlorophyll, that chloroplasts produce. Elodea plants do carry out photosynthesis.
Which has a higher rate of respiration Elodea or a small fresh water zebra fish?
The zebra fish will have a higher respiration rate
What kind of food does elodea eat?
it makes its own food through photosynthesis it makes its own food through photosynthesis
Does elodea respire in the dark or the light?
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.
When NaHco3 is added to an elodea plant what happens?
Photosynthesis occurs and oxygen bubbles are produced.
What cellular structure in elodea carries out the process that is most likely to result in increasing pH?
Chloroplasts
What is the green organelles called from elodea leaves?
they are called chloroplasts and they help to preform photosynthesis in the plant cell.

Do elodea leaves carry out photosynthesis?
yesElodea also a plant.Its chlorophyll is masked by other pigments. Photosynthesis is taking place in it too
