What experiments prove that photosynthesis takes place in plants?

The starch test proves if there is any chlorophyll in the plant (the green pigment in leaves.) If there is chlorophyll in a plant, photosynthesis takes place. A plant cannot do photosynthesis if there is no or hardly any chlorophyll in the plant.

You could also put a glass cover over a plant (and give it enough light) and see that the plant starts to die only after it has converted all of the oxygen in its enclosure into carbon dioxide. How to check when it is all carbon dioxide? You could put a candle where the enclosure was immediately after lifting up the glass cover, and if it flickers out, the air is all (or mostly) carbon dioxide.

What was the aim of Gregor Mendel?
The aim of Gregor Mendel was to prove the laws of inheritance through his experiments with the breeding of pea plants.
What evidence do you have that phtotsynthesis occurs in plants?
if you extratct the oxygen of leaf disks and put them on water in a well lit environment, and they sink at first but later rise, that would prove that photosynthesis occurs in plants because oxygen is a product of photosynthesis abd would help the disks float
What did Thomsons experiments prove?
J. Thomson discovered the electron.
What is the purpose of detecting the presence of starch in leaf?
It can be used to prove that photosynthesis has happened.
Which experiments did Louis Pasteur carry out to prove microbes made food go bad?
he didnt
If 24 plants were left in a dark closet for 2 weeks and were all dead after that what would this prove?
that plants require light to live/ survive that the plants were dependant on photosynthesis

What can experiments prove?
An experiment can prove or disprove a hypothesis.
Does science prove theories are wrong by using experiments?
An experiment can prove they are wrong or right ...:)
What are two possible outcomes to prove an experiments hypothesis?
To prove the hypothesis. To disprove the hypothesis.

How would you prove that a certain theory is not acceptable?
By performing experiments whose goal is to prove that such theory is a mistaken theory.
What experiment can prove that plants are attracted to the sun?
An easy experiment to do is to take 2 similar plants and place one in a place that gets sun and the other in a place that doesn't. It doesn't take long to see the differences between them.
Why is planning experiments important to study?
Only when experiments are planed, carried out and analyzed can we know if our hypothesis is true and our methods are reliable. Oncethis is achieved, repeating experiments prove validity.
Why can a hypothesis never be proven?
It can be proven, you have to do at least 3 experiments to prove your hypothesis.
